Did you know?

Have you ever prayed the Way of the Cross?

We will follow in Jesus’ footsteps where He

carried His Holy Cross! We will walk and pray the original Way of the

Cross through Jerusalem climbing Calvary and entering

The Holy Sepulcher! An incredible experience we will never forget!

The rock where Jesus suffered the agony in the

garden, is still there at the Garden of

Gethsemane! The olive trees in the garden are approx. 2000 years

old! A stone throw away, is the cave of the betrayal where Judas kissed

Jesus when he turned Him in.

★NOTE: Although a motor-coach is included for tour transportation, it is important to point out that all Holy Land Pilgrimages require a considerable amount of walking.
