DAILY ITINERARY

Excellent itinerary and value for money pilgrimage

Day 1 UK/Tel Aviv/Bethlehem Depart London Luton for flight to Tel Aviv. Everyone meets at the airport. Please wear your badge so that your leader can easily identify that you are one of the group travelling. Upon arrival at Tel Aviv airport, your guide and coach will be waiting to transfer you to your hotel in Bethlehem. Dinner at the hotel depending on the time of arrival. Day 2 Bethlehem / Shepherd’s Field After breakfast, we walk to the Manger Square - the Basilica of the Nativity - to start our walking tour for today. We first visit The Grotto inside Nativity Church where Jesus was born, followed by Mass in St Catherine’s church and afterwards we visit St Joseph’s Grotto and Franciscan Church of the Nativity. We have lunch in the Manger Square and afterwards we walk to the Milk

Grotto and visit the Museum of the Miracles. Local bus to Shepherd’s field, visit Grottos there and visit Chapel above - where the angels first sang the ‘Gloria in Excelcis Deo’ on the night of the first Christmas. We will have a chance to do some shopping before we return to the hotel for dinner.

Day 3

Bethlehem/Jerusalem (old city)

Early departure for Jerusalem to the Old City. Visit Western Wall, then walk to the church of Ecce Homo, built on the site of the Palace of Pilate where we start our Stations of the Cross along via Dolorosa, following the route Our Lord walked on the first Good Friday and ending in the Holy Sepulchre Basilica - the holiest place on earth. We celebrate Mass in one of the chapels here (if possible). Afterwards we visit the Holy Tomb of Jesus, Mt Calvary, and the Grotto of the True Cross. Lunch break then continue on to visit the Chapel of the Upper Room, the magnificent Dormition Abbey where Our Lady was assumed to heaven, St Peter’s in Gallicantu - a truly incredible Shrine, and we visit the dungeon where Jesus was imprisoned after His mock trial on Maundy Thursday night. Return to our hotel.
