Today (Wednesday) our Pilgrims begin their trip at the Dome of the Rock and a visit to the Patriarchate of Jerusalem and an audience with His Holiness Patriarch Theofilos followed by the walk commemorating the Way of the Cross.
On Tuesday our pilgrims spent 3 hours going into Bethlehem to visit the Church of the Nativity to pray in the manger and venerate the place of Christ’s Holy Birth. The day continued with visits to Shepherds Field where the Shepherds heard the angel tell of the Holy Birth in order to find Him. Following that visit they visited the monasteries of St Symeon and the Holy Cross and also visited the monastery which commemorates the birth of St John the Baptist.
Today our Pilgrims began their day in Cana at the site of the wedding where the Lord performed His first miracle of changing water into wine; then they proceeded to Nazareth and went to the home of the Virgin Mary followed by the workshop of Joseph. Then the group finished today’s trip on Mt Tabor at the Orthodox site of the Transfiguration of our Lord.
