Day 3 - Jerusalem

Today we travel to Nazareth in the Lower Galilee, the place where Jesus grew up and lived most of his life. We visit the Church of the Annunciation, built over the Grotto of the Annunciation, the place where early Christian tradition says that the angel Gabriel spoke to Mary. We continue to Joseph's carpentry workshop and then to Cana, site of the wedding feast. At Mount Carmel we stop at the Carmelite Monastery at the Muhraka, site of Elijah's altar. Paintings in the church dome depict Old Testament stories, including one of Elijah being swept up to heaven in a fiery chariot. On to the Valley of Armageddon to the excavation of Tel Megiddo and continue to Caesarea on the Mediterranean Sea to discover the ancient Crusader and Roman town, its aqueduct and theater. Dinner and overnight are in Jerusalem. (B, D)

Day 4 - Jerusalem

We spend the day in the Old City of Jerusalem, visiting St. Anne's Church, the Pool of Bethesda, the Chapel of the Flagellation, and the Ecce Homo Arch. We continue through the Bazaar to the Via Dolorosa which winds through the streets of Old Jerusalem and commemorates the path that Jesus walked on his way to the crucifixion. We visit the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, containing the tomb where Jesus was buried and rose from the dead. Later we head to Bethlehem for an inspiring visit to the Church of the Nativity (subject to availability). While returning to Jerusalem we view Shepherd's Field and Rachel's Tomb. Dinner and overnight are in Jerusalem. (B. D)

Day 5 - Jerusalem

Our destination for today is the Dead Sea region, the lowest point on earth. We drive to Masada, the fortress where Jewish Zealots held off the armies of the Roman Empire before choosing death over surrender. We continue to Ein Gedi, where King David found shelter from the wrath of King Saul. This afternoon we can opt to "float" on the Dead Sea. On our way back to Jerusalem, we view the caves of Qumran where, in 1947, the Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered. We return to Jerusalem for dinner and overnight. (B, D)

Day 6 - Jerusalem / USA

Today we participate in a full day tour of Jerusalem including the Mt. of Olives, Mt. Scopus, the Garden of Gethsemane and the Basilica of Agony. We continue to the Kidron Valley and to Mt. Zion, site of the Last Supper room and King David's tomb. We visit a model of Jerusalem during the Second Temple period as well as the Shrine of the Book, with the famous Dead Sea Scrolls, at the Israel Museum. We drive to the village of Ein Kerem, birthplace of St. John the Baptist. After dinner we transfer to the airport for our overnight flight home. (B, D)
