The Samaritans trace their ancestry back over 3,000 years and consider themselves the original people of The Holy Land. Each year, the Samaritans gather on Mt Gerizim to celebrate the Passover. At sunset, between 40 and 50 sheep are sacrificed as part of an ancient ritual. Presenter Reverend Peter Owen-Jones visits the small Samaritan community on Israel's West Bank and explains their history and origins linking them with this part of the land, and comments on their adherence to their teachings. He comments on the place of sacrifice in Judaism and Christianity and ponders what future the small Samaritan community has.
