Protesters calling for a cease-fire in Gaza interrupted a Saturday night Easter Mass at St. Patrick’s Cathedral, chanting “Free, free Palestine” before being removed from the service.

Thousands of pro-Palestine demonstrators gathered in Times Square earlier Saturday before some headed to the Easter Vigil service at St. Patrick’s, where their chants of “Free, free Palestine” could be heard during the second reading of the service.

At least some of the protesters were with Extinction Rebellion NYC’s Palestinian Solidarity group, and carried a flag with an olive tree and the words “SILENCE = DEATH” written across it.

The protesters were quickly taken out of the service moments later, Fox News Digital Reported.
