The Holy Land - Palestine, Jordan - and the nearby destinations
such as Egypt, Turkey, Greece, Rome, are often the most profound and meaningful
traveling you will ever do. The deep religious history and heritage of
the land, the places made holy by the events of the Bible and by the life
of Christ, the Apostles, and the early Church make it absolutely essential
that you experience it through both knowledgeable and faithful eyes.The Holy Land means many things to many people. It is
the Biblical homeland for the Jewish people.
The city of Jerusalem and the Haram Es-Sharif are the
third holiest place in the world for Muslims. It is the homeland of the
Palestinian people. For Christian travelers, a tour of the Holy Land includes
all these emphases, but it must be first and foremost a spiritual pilgrimage
which visits the places made holy by Biblical and Church history in faith
and devotion. And it must be enjoyable, fun, and well paced. Visit the churches commemorating events of importance
in Jesus' life.
Such sites can be included in any tour:
-Bethlehem's Church of the Nativity.
-The field of the shepherds .
-Nazareth where Jesus grew up.
-The Sea of Galilee.
-The Mount of the Beatitudes.
-The village of Capernaum.
-Mt. Tabor, the traditional location of the Transfiguration.
-The Mount of Olives.
-Bethany.
-The Old City of Jerusalem, where Jesus celebrated the
Last Supper, was tried, crucified, buried, and
rose again.
