Holy Land & Jordan – July 5-15, 2020

Holy Land and Jordan Pilgrimage

One of our most popular pilgrimages! This pilgrimage makes a couple of special stops. Get a rare look at the lives of Holy Land Christians with a visit to Bethlehem University and the Holy Family Hospital.

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 going on to visit St. Peter in Gallicantu where Peter denied knowing Jesus three times. Travel to the oldest city in Israel, Jericho, and then swim in the salty, mineral-laden 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. Then, follow the Via Dolorosa to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and venerate the Tomb of Jesus.

From there, it’s on to Petra – one of the Seven Wonders of the World! Board a boat and sail through the Sea of Galilee, and then stay overnight in the seaside city of Tiberias.
