Holy Land and Jordan Pilgrimage – July 10-20, 2023 – SOLD OUT

Franciscan Holy Land Pilgrimage

Join us on our most popular pilgrimage, the Holy Land and Jordan. Meet your tour in Tel Aviv before traveling up the Mediterranean coast to 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, spend time in Tiberias then board a boat and sail on the Sea of Galilee to Capernaum.

Cross into Jordan where we’ll spend two nights in Amman. During this part of the trip, we will renew our Baptismal Promises at the Jordan River and visit Mt. Nebo and Petra – one of the Seven Wonders of the World!

Next, travel to Jerusalem and 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 the city. Walk in the Garden of Gethsemane and see the Basilica of the Agony before traveling for a swim in the mineral-rich waters of the Dead Sea.

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. Then, follow the Via Dolorosa to Golgotha inside the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and venerate the Tomb of Jesus.
