Franciscan Pilgramage to the Holy Land – November 11-20, 2021

Franciscan Pilgrimage to the Holy Land

Join us on this popular pilgrimage! Meet your tour in Tel Aviv before traveling to Jerusalem.

Touch the spot where Jesus was born within the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem and see the birthplace of John the Baptist and the Church of the Visitation in Ein Karem. Follow the Via Dolorosa to Golgotha inside the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and venerate the Tomb of Jesus. Visit the Chapel of the Ascension and the Church of the Pater Noster on the summit of the Mount of Olives, with a panoramic view of Jerusalem. Walk in the Garden of Gethsemane and see the Basilica of the Agony before traveling to swim in the mineral-rich waters of the Dead Sea.

From Jerusalem drive to Tiberias with a stop at the Jordan River to visit the baptismal site, where we will have an opportunity to renew our baptismal vows. Then onto Mount Carmel and Mount Tabor, the spot of the Transfiguration. Watch pilgrims renew their wedding vows in Cana, see the Church of the Annunciation in Nazareth, and enjoy a scenic boat ride on the Sea of Galilee before driving down the Mediterranean coast to Old Jaffa.

These are just some of the adventures that await you on this tour! View the trip details for the full list of the holy sites you’ll visit and a day-to-day account of your trip.
