    About this ebook

    “Nothing
    can bring people to Jerusalem than the desire to see and touch the
    places where Jesus was physically present and to be able to experience
    the Journey He went through.”

    My wife and I decided to go to the Holy Lands in November 2017.
    The decision was made 1 year ago when a pilgrimage tour to the Holy
    Lands was suggested by our Catholic neighborhood group.
    It was a right time for my wife who had recovered from cancer 5 years
    ago and a knee operation 2 years ago.
    She was eager to travel again having regained the function of her knee.
    Traveling in a holy site usually requires a lot of walking especially if
    you want to follow the journey of Jesus as He travels through mountains
    and hills preaching and performing miracles every where that He went.
    The last time we traveled to a Holy Site was 10 years ago with a trip to
    Italy to see the Vatican, St Peter Basilica, Asissi and other sites in
    Italy.
    That also took a lot of walking through the cobbled streets of Rome.
    Vatican City, officially State of the Vatican City is a landlocked
    sovereign city-state whose territory consists of a walled enclave within
    the city of Rome.
    At about 44 hectares (108.7 acres), it is the smallest independent
    nation in the world.
    Vatican City can be said to be the governmental capital of the Catholic
    Church.
    Vatican City is where St. Peter's Basilica, the Apostolic Palace, the
    Sistine Chapel, and museums were built, along with various other
    buildings on the west bank of the Tiber river.
    It is also the official residence of the Pope.
    Before that we took a trip to Lourdes to see the miracle water baths.
    Our Lady of Lourdes is a Roman Catholic title of the Blessed Virgin
    Mary venerated in honor of the Marian apparitions that reportedly
    occurred in 1858 in the vicinity of Lourdes in France.
    The first of these is the apparition of 11 February 1858, when 14-year
    old Bernadette Soubirous told her mother that a "lady" spoke to her.

    This journey is going to the Holy Land where Jesus Christ was born,
    worked His miracles , preached His Beatitudes and taught us how to pray
    to God, died on the Cross and was resurrected on Easter Sunday.
    He also built the biggest religion Christianity in the world (2.4
    billion) in 2012 and had followers all over the world.
    With help of our Spiritual Director Father Augustinus, our local tour
    guide Angela and the Israel Catholic tour guide we managed to go through
    the whole life of Jesus from His birth and His death and resurrection
    The bible came alive to us from the places we went, Bethlehem, Nazareth,
    Sea of Galilee, Jerusalem and the Garden of Gethsame where he prayed in
    agony until his sweats became blood.
    We saw the place that He was born (Nativity) and His Death (Holy
    Sepulcher) and Resurrection.

      Introduction

      "Nothing can bring people to Jerusalem than the desire to see and touch the places where Jesus was physically present and to be able to experience the Journey He went through."

      My wife and I decided to go to the Holy Lands in November 2017.

      The decision was made 1 year ago when a pilgrimage tour to the Holy Lands was suggested by our Catholic neighborhood group.

      It was a right time for my wife who had recovered from cancer 5 years ago and a knee operation 2 years ago.

      She was eager to travel again having regained the function of her knee.

      Traveling in a holy site usually requires a lot of walking especially if you want to follow the journey of Jesus as He travels through mountains and hills preaching and performing miracles every where that He went.

      The last time we traveled to a Holy Site was 10 years ago with a trip to Italy to see the Vatican, St Peter Basilica, Asissi and other sites in Italy.

      That also took a lot of walking through the cobbled streets of Rome.

      Vatican City, officially State of the Vatican City is a landlocked sovereign city-state whose territory consists of a walled enclave within the city of Rome.

      At about 44 hectares (108.7 acres), it is the smallest independent nation in the world.

      Vatican City can be said to be the governmental capital of the Catholic Church.

      Vatican City is where St. Peter's Basilica, the Apostolic Palace, the Sistine Chapel, and museums were built, along with various other buildings on the west bank of the Tiber river.

      It is also the official residence of the Pope.

      Before that we took a trip to Lourdes to see the miracle water baths.

      Our Lady of Lourdes is a Roman Catholic title of the Blessed Virgin Mary venerated in honor of the Marian apparitions that reportedly occurred in 1858 in the vicinity of Lourdes in France.

      The first of these is the apparition of 11 February 1858, when 14-year old Bernadette Soubirous told her mother that a lady spoke to her.

      Our next trip may be to Fatima, Portugal.
