Tour Description
Nazareth | Sea Of Galilee | Jerusalem | Bethlehem | Emmaus
Experience
a personal encounter with Jesus in the mystical
land of His Life, Death, and Resurrection.
While near the Sea of Galilee, in Bethlehem
and Jerusalem, the Gospels will come to life
as you walk, pray, and celebrate the Eucharist
in the places held most sacred to Christians.
Visit the sites where Jesus performed His
miracles. Carry the cross and trace His last
steps before crucifixion, as you walk down
the Via Dolorosa to the Church of the Holy
Sepulchre. Once you become a pilgrim to the
Holy Land, you will never read or hear the
Scriptures in the same way again. Your faith
will be renewed.
