An interesting sight - the Samaritans doing their "Korban Pesach" on Har Grizim (the Samaritans, descendants of *transplants who adopted parts of Hebrew rituals, have been separated from the Jewish people for over two thousand years). My inclusion of the site is in no way an endorsement of them or their practices. Click HERE

*From KINGS II: "24. And the king of Assyria brought [people] from Babylonia and from Cuthah and from Avva and from Hamath and from Sepharvaim, and he settled them in the cities of Samaria instead of the children of Israel, and they took possession of Samaria and dwelt in its cities. 25. And it was in the beginning of their dwelling there, that they did not fear the Lord, and the Lord incited lions against them, and they were killing them. 26. And they said to the king of Assyria, saying, "The nations that you exiled and settled in the cities of Samaria, do not know the law of the God of the land, and He has incited lions against them, and behold they are killing them, as they do not know the law of the God of the land." 27. And the king of Assyria commanded, saying, "Bring there one of the priests whom I have exiled from there, and let them go and dwell there, and teach them the law of the God of the land." 28. And one of the priests whom they had exiled from Samaria came and settled in Bethel, and he would direct them how they should fear the Lord. 29. Now each nation made its god, and they placed [it] in the temple of the high places that the people of Samaria had made, each nation in their cities wherein they were dwelling."
