[VIDEO & PHOTOS BELOW] Kuvien Images presents YWN with a photo essay of the Yom Yerushalayim flag march, which started by the kever of Shimon HaTzaddik, and made its way to the Old City of Jerusalem.

Over 40,000 people marched through the streets of Jerusalem on Wednesday afternoon in a show of patriotism honoring the 44th anniversary of the Six Day War.

Dozens were arrested during the annual Flag Day parade, which marched through the east Jerusalem neighborhood of Sheikh Jarrah in a departure from the route through the city center used in previous years.
