| Israel - the holy land, birthplace of Jesus, Abraham, and the prophets. Israel is the site of much of the biblical narrative, central to God''''s longstanding relationship with the Jewish people, and is a land of fulfilled prophesies and promises. Visit the quaint alleyways of Jerusalem''''s Old City where Jesus walked and ministered, and then was later crucified and resurrected. See the Temple Mount, the Via De La Rosa, and the sites of many of Christ''''s miracles. Visit the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem, which marks Christ''''s birthplace, and the field where angels announced Christ''''s birth to poor shepherds. Visit Nazareth and the Galilee where Jesus lived and spent much of his time ministering, healing and performing miracles. These along with thousands of other holy sites make Israel a pilgrimage destination to people of many faiths. |
