FOR CENTURIES, THE HOLY LAND HAS BEEN THE PRIME DESTINATION FOR CHRISTIAN PILGIRMS. SOME SITES ARE AUTHENTIC, SOME TRADITIONAL, BUT BOTH ENSURE THE SPIRITUAL SATISFACTION OF FOLLOWING AN ANCIENT ROUTE IN THE STEPS OF SAINTS AND THE SAVIOUR.

WELL TRODDEN PATHS LEAD TO SHRINES AND HOLY PLACES WHERE EAST AND WESTERN CHRISTIAN CULTURES MEET IN COMMON WORSHIP.

A 15TH CENTURY VISITOR WELL ENCAPSULATED THE 'PILGRIM EXPERIENCE' BY STATING;
"FROM THE MOUNT OF OLIVES, WE BEHELD THE ENTIRE HOLY CITY GLITTERING JOYOUSLY IN THE SUNLIGHT. I WAS NEVER ABLE TO SATIATE MYSELF WITH GAZING UPON THE CITY FOR IT SOMEHOW CALLS OUT A MAN'S AFFECTIONS. I HAVE NEVER BEEN HAPPIER IN ANY PLACE IN THE WORLD THAN IN JERUSALEM, AND I HAVE SPENT EXCEEDING PLEASANT HOURS AND DAYS THERE."

BIBLICAL SCHOLARS STATE THAT AROUND 90% OF THE BIBLE STORY TOOK PLACE ON A PIECE OF LAND SOME 150 X 50 MILES WHICH TODAY IS IN EFFECT - THE HOLY LAND.
DESCRIBED BY DR, JIM FLEMING AS A LAND OF 5 VARIETIES, 4 SEAS, THREE CONTINENTS, TWO DESERTS, ONE GOD, IT TRULY CAPITVATES ALL WHO VISIT.

WITH MAP AND BIBLE, ONE CAN TODAY EASILY TRACE SCRIPTURE PERSONALITIES, PLACES, AND EVENTS. AS HOST TO PROPHETS, PRIESTS, KINGS, DISCIPLES, AND JESUS, THE LAND ENCHANTS, AMAZES, THRILLS, AND ENRICHES ALL WHO TAKE THE TIME TO EXPLORE AND WALK ITS ANCIENT PATHS, HILLS AND VALLEYS.

FROM THE TRANQUIL SHORES OF GALILEE, TO THE BUSTLING STREETS OF JERUSALEM, THE HIGH SLOPES OF HERMON, TO THE BARREN WILDERNESS, THIS LAND CREATES AN INSTANT DESIRE TO RETURN!
