IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF JESUS IN ISRAEL

Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea and He grew up in the Galilean town of Nazareth.

Soon after He was baptised in the river Jordan, He went back to Nazareth and from there to the Sea of Galilee where He gathered twelve disciples to assist Him in his ministry.

Jesus' ministry took Him to several towns around and near the Sea of Galilee as well as other towns and places all over present day Israel.

Towards the end of his ministry Jesus and his disciples went to Jerusalem where He spent most of his last days on earth.

Christian pilgrims visiting the Holy Land can follow in the footsteps of Jesus by visiting many sites where He fulfilled His mission on earth.
