Date: Monday 17th April – Tuesday 25th April 2017
Our 9-day pilgrimage is a joint venture with Mount Merrion Parish and is lead by Fr Tony Coote.
It begins in Jerusalem where we will spend 5 nights.
During this time we will visit all of the main sites including the Via Dolorosa, the Holy Sepulchre, Mount Zion and the Holocaust Museum -Yad Vashem. We will visit Bethlehem and Qumran where the Dead Sea Scrolls were found, take the cable car to Massada and have time for a dip in the Dead Sea!
We will visit Emmaus on our way to Tiberias, our base for the final 3 nights.
From there we will visit Nazareth, Cana, the Mount of Beatitudes, Mount Tabor, Capernaum and enjoy a boat trip on the Sea of Galilee.
