Join us on this amazing new trip through a land regarded by many as the holiest of the holy and the most scared cities, Jerusalem and Bethlehem.  We will stroll in the footsteps of prophets, crusaders and kings admiring the Old City of Jerusalem where we will pass through Damascus Gate to visit the Wailing Wall/Western Wall, the Jewish Quarters, Dome of the Rock on Temple Mount and follow the path taken by Christ past the Stations of the Cross along the Via Dolorosa to Golgotha.  We will travel to Bethlehem where the story of Mary, Joseph and Jesus officially begins visiting the Church of Nativity and the Manager Square.  We will visit Yah Vashem to commemorate the millions of lives lost in the Holocaust during WW II.  See the Dead Sea Scrolls at Israel Museum’s Shrine of the Book, the Knesset, and the Givat Ram Campus of the Hebrew University.   In Nazareth, you will have an opportunity to visit the sacred Catholic Shrine of the Church of Annunciation, whose cupola overlooks the cave in which Archangel Gabriel appeared to Mary.  We will enjoy a boat ride on the Sea of Galilee and visit the Jesus Boat, an ancient fishing vessel dating to the 1^st century AD, and the ruins of the old synagogue at Capernaum.  Do not miss out on this once in a lifetime trip!
