The Chief Rabbinate of Israel declared Jerusalem Day a minor religious holiday to thank God for victory in the Six-Day War and for answering the 2,000-year-old prayer of "Next Year in Jerusalem".
Yom Yerusahlayim - Jerusalem Day - Begins at sundown today and runs through sundown tomorrow. (notice in this picture the photographer has added in the future Temple on the Temple Mount)!
