CHRISTIAN PILGRIMAGE

Christian pilgrims are blessed by visiting places mentioned in the Bible - whether it be sites related to Old Testament role players, places where Jesus lived and worked while on earth or where His disciples and the Apostles went to proclaim the Good News.

Archaeologists still uncover more and more sites related to Biblical history while research allows Christians to come closer to Biblical characters and their activities thousands of years ago in the Holy Land.

Excavations in the ancient City of Beersheva

Several Old Testament sites provide interesting insights in God's dealings with His people before the arrival of His Son, Jesus. Pilgrims travel to these sites at Mount Sinai, Hebron, Beersheva, Jerusalem, Jericho, Megiddo, Hazor and many more places in Israel.

Pilgrims who travel to the Holy Land love to follow the footsteps of Jesus, from His birth to His death, resurrection and ascension.

And then, after His resurrection, the disciples of Jesus started to proclaim the Good News, beginning their ministry in Jerusalem and then moved beyond the borders of Israel. The Apostle Paul was the most prominent herald of the Gospel beyond the borders of Israel.
