Jewish settlers pray from the biblical Book of Lamentation at the ancient mountain fortress of Herodium near the West Bank town of Bethlehem during the 9th of Av day of mourning July 19, 2010. Jews around the world mark the destruction of the First and Second holy temples. The Tisha Be'Av ceremony, literally the ninth day of the month of Av in the Hebraic calendar, is the darkest day of the year for Jews, marking the destruction of both the temples, by the Babylonians in 587 BC and later by the Romans in 70 AD.
