Guided Christian Trip to Israel

It is believed that Jerusalem is closely intertwined with Jesus’ history as described in the Bible. Jerusalem has gained a great significance as, amongst its many attributes, it was the place where Jesus was crucified, resurrected, and ascended. All of this, and more, is part of what makes this city so attractive to Christian Pilgrims every year.

Here are some holy sites of Jerusalem, which you can explore on your Christian trip to Israel:
