Day 1: Bethlehem & Jerusalem
We start our tour driving to Bethlehem to visit the Church of the Nativity, dedicated to the birth of Christ.
From Bethlehem, we head on to the Mount of Olives where Jesus preached His famous "Sermon on the Mount." You will visit the Chapel of Ascension, and drive by the Church of Pater Noster, & Dominus Flevit on our way to the Garden of Gethsemene, where Jesus prayed before His arrest after Judas betrayed Him to the Pharisees.
From the Garden, we head over to the Jaffa Gate, walking past St James Cathedral near the Armenian Quarter where you will visit the upper room of the Last Supper Jesus had with His disciples (Cenacle). Time permitting, we'll visit the First Century Church on Mount Zion, King David's Tomb, and Dormition Abbey.
Finally, we walk to the Jewish Quarter for lunch then to the Western (Wailing) Wall. We follow the Catholic Stations of the Cross (Via Dolorosa) from the Place of the Pavement (where Pontius Pilate judged Him), to the site of His Crucifixion (Golgatha) and nearby Tomb (at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre).
