Franciscan Holy Land & Jordan Pilgrimage – Cancelled

Special Graymoor 125th Anniversary Tour

Join us on this special pilgrimage led by Fr. James Gardiner! Our trip begins in Bethlehem where we’ll tour Shepherd’s Field and venerate the Holy Grotto of the Nativity, as well as the Grotto of St. Jerome. Travel to Ein Karem to visit the birthplace of John the Baptist and the Church of the Visitation. Gaze upon a panoramic view of Jerusalem from the top of the Mount of Olives, and visit the Chapel of Ascension and the Garden of Gethsemane. Then head back into Bethlehem to visit the University, staffed by Christian Brothers, where we’ll meet with students and faculty before moving on to the Tantur Ecumenical Institute. Next, drive to Jerusalem to visit the many sites where Jesus walked including Bethany to see Lazarus’ tomb, Jericho, and the Upper Room where Jesus celebrated the Last Supper and appeared to the apostles after his Resurrection. Follow the Via Dolorosa to the Church of the Holy Sepulcher to visit Golgotha and the Tomb of the Risen Christ. There will also be time to take a dip in the salty, mineral-laden waters of the Dead Sea.

From Jerusalem, cross over into Jordan to visit the spot where Jesus was baptized, plus Mt. Nebo and then Petra, one of the Seven Wonders of the World!

Next, head back into Israel and proceed to Tiberias and take a boat ride on the Sea of Galilee. This portion of the trip will visit Capernum, Tabgha, the Mt. of the Beatitudes and Cana where couples will have the opportunity to renew their wedding vows before traveling to the top of Mt. Tabor, site of the Transfiguration. The following day we will visit Nazareth and Mt. Carmel then head to the city of Netanya, overlooking the Mediterranean, where we will spend our final night before heading back to the USA.

These are just a few of the holy sites you will see on this extraordinary journey of faith. Click on the ‘View Tour Details’ button for a detailed brochure outlining the day-to-day itinerary of this special trip.
