A video shared on Facebook purports to show an Easter procession in the United Arab Emirates.

Verdict: False

The claim is false. Factly reported the video showed an Easter procession in Guatemala, not the United Arab Emirates, via an April 10 article.

Fact Check:

The United Arab Emirates recently sent 370 tons of humanitarian aid to northern Gaza via a convoy, according to The Jerusalem Post. The aid included food, medical supplies, and clothing, among other items, the outlet reported.

“United Arab Emirates,” the Facebook video’s caption reads, adding the word, “Unbelievable.” The video shows an outdoor Easter procession featuring a statue of Jesus Christ.

The claim is false, however. Factly reported the video showed an Easter procession in Guatemala, not the United Arab Emirates, via an April 10 article. The outlet was able to trace the footage back to YouTube using both keyframes and a reverse image search. The flag of Guatemala is also visible in the video, making it clear that the footage does not show the United Arab Emirates, the outlet indicated.

The original footage of the Easter procession was shared on YouTube on Mar. 25. “Funeral March ‘To the Lord of Mercy’ Procession of Jesús Nazareno de la Merced Palm Sunday,” an English translation of the video’s caption reads.

The country is predominantly Muslim, with 74.5% of its population practicing Islam, according to the same website.
