Lord was born. We’ll travel to the desert wilderness

Masada, and Qumran, where a young shepherd boy
found the Dead Sea Scrolls. In Jerusalem we will
visit the Southern Steps of the Temple, the Western
Wall, St Anne’s Church and the Pool of Bethesda,
St. Peter Gallicantu and the Cenacle, the site of the
Last Supper. We’ll walk down the Mt. of Olives to
the Garden of Gethsemane. We’ll rise early to walk

Church of the Holy Sepulcher, the site of Calvary

visit the Jordan River, the site of Jesus’ baptism. In
Galilee we’ll visit the site of the multiplication of
the loaves and fishes, Tabgha, Capernaum, the Mt.
of Beatitudes, and enjoy an extended boat ride on
the Sea of Galilee. We’ll visit Mt. Tabor, Nazareth,
Cana, Mt. Carmel and Caesarea Maritime, the
