Description
Walk where Jesus walked. This Christian Jerusalem tour takes you to the most sacred sites in Christianity, from the Mount of Olives where Jesus ascended to heaven, through the Garden of Gethsemane where He prayed before His arrest, along the Via Dolorosa where He carried His cross, to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre where He was crucified and buried.
Unlike a general Jerusalem tour that covers Jewish, Muslim, and Christian sites in a broad overview, this Christian Jerusalem tour is designed exclusively for pilgrims and travelers who want to experience the New Testament in person. Every stop on the itinerary connects directly to the life, ministry, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Your licensed guide brings each site to life with biblical context, historical background, and spiritual insight. Visit the Church of the Ascension with its imprint of Jesus’ foot in stone. Stand inside the Church of Pater Noster where He taught the Lord’s Prayer. See the ancient Pools of Bethesda where Jesus healed the paralytic man. Walk the Via Dolorosa from the Third Station of the Cross to Calvary.
The Christian Jerusalem tour ends inside the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, the holiest site in Christianity. Touch the Stone of Unction where Jesus’ body was anointed, climb to the Chapel of Calvary where He was crucified, and visit the Aedicule that contains His empty tomb.
This Christian Jerusalem tour operates on Tuesdays and Fridays with hotel pickup from Tel Aviv or Jerusalem. The tour covers over 5 miles of walking on hilly terrain. Modest dress is required at all holy sites.
