Sample Day-by-Day Itinerary<br />
Day 1, November 26, 2012 Depart USA<br />
Make your way to Boston Logan Airport where you will board your<br />
overnight flights to Tel Aviv. Dinner and breakfast will be served on<br />
board.<br />
Day 2, November 27, 2012 Arrive Tel Aviv<br />
Upon arrival in Tel Aviv Airport you will find your luggage and exit the<br />
baggage claim into the arrivals hall where you will be greeted by your<br />
tour escort and/or driver. After a warm welcome to Israel, you will be<br />
escorted to your transportation to our hotel on the beautiful Mediterranean<br />
coast. We enjoy a delicious buffet dinner at our hotel before retiring<br />
for the evening.<br />
Day 3, November 28, 2012 Stella Maris, Cana, Basilica of the Annunciation<br />
& Mary's Well<br />
After a filling breakfast we travel up the coast to Caesarea. We will visit<br />
the Roman and Crusader ruins, where Paul was held prisoner by the<br />
Romans. We continue our journey into the Carmel Mountains, heading<br />
for Galilee. We stop in Haifa where we will visit Stella Maris, a Carmelite<br />
Monastery which houses the Madonna of Mt. Carmel. After time for<br />
prayer we continue on to Mukhraka where Elijah confronted the false<br />
prophets of Baal and where the Carmelite Order began. Our next stop<br />
is Cana, the village where Jesus performed his first miracle changing<br />
water into wine. Our pilgrim couples will have a special opportunity to<br />
renew their wedding vows during our Mass. We drive to nearby Nazareth,<br />
where we will visit the Basilica of the Annunciation, Mary's Well<br />
and the Church of the Angel Gabriel. We arrive in Tiberias in time for<br />
our dinner and a restful overnight.<br />
Day 4, November 29, 2012 <strong>The</strong> Ministry of Christ in Galilee<br />
Today we will focus on the ministry of Christ during his time in Galilee.<br />
We will enjoy a peaceful boat ride across the Sea of Galilee where<br />
Christ walked on water. We also visit the holy site Capernaum to see<br />
the synagogue and St. Peter's house, where Jesus would have stayed<br />
while ministering in the area. Visit the breathtaking Mount of Beatitudes<br />
where the Sermon on the Mount was given. <strong>The</strong>re will be an<br />
unforgettable Mass near the shores of the Sea of Galilee at the Primacy<br />
of Mt. Beatitudes. We continue on to Tabgha where we will view<br />
the splendid mosaic commemorating the miracle of the loaves and<br />
fishes, and to the nearby Church of Peter's Primacy where Peter was<br />
told "Feed my lambs, feed my sheep." In the afternoon we visit<br />
Caesarea Philippi, where Jesus told Peter "You are the Rock and upon<br />
this rock I will build my Church." We return to our hotel for dinner and a<br />
well earned rest.<br />
Day 5, November 30, 2012 Jordan River, Mt. Tabor, Jerusalem<br />
We start our day with a stop at the Jordan River where we will renew<br />
our Baptismal Vows. We will continue to Mount Tabor, scene of the<br />
Transfiguration, where we will have Mass in the beautiful small church<br />
atop the mountain. We drive down the Jordan Valley and head towards<br />
Jerusalem where we will arrive in time for dinner.<br />
Day 6, December 1, 2012 Jerusalem & Bethlehem<br />
We begin our time in Jerusalem with an overview of the past and current<br />
geography of the Old City, including a dramatic view of the Old<br />
City from the Mount of Olives, revealing a city with 4000 years of history.<br />
From this vantage point, see much of what makes Jerusalem<br />
such a unique city to the three major religions: Christianity, Judaism,<br />
and Islam. We then head to the village of Ein Karem, the birthplace of<br />
St. John the Baptist and to the Church of Visitation where the Blessed<br />
Virgin Mary visited her cousin, Elizabeth, and proclaimed the<br />
'Magnificat.' In the afternoon we drive to the Shepherd's Fields where<br />
the angels announced the birth of Jesus and celebrate Mass. We visit<br />
the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem, which stands upon the site<br />
where Jesus was born. We have time to shop before returning to our<br />
hotel for dinner.<br />
Day 7 December 2,<br />
2012: <strong>The</strong> Passion of<br />
Jesus' Last Hours<br />
We begin our day with<br />
a visit to the Mt. of<br />
Olives to walk the<br />
Palm Sunday route<br />
stopping at Dominus<br />
Flevit, where Jesus<br />
wept over Jerusalem.<br />
Our journey takes us<br />
to Gethsemane, where<br />
we will visit the Rock<br />
of Agony where Jesus<br />
prayed His last prayer<br />
before his arrest. We<br />
continue on to the<br />
Cave of Betrayal and<br />
the Cave of Assumption<br />
of Mary to<br />
Heaven. We visit Pater<br />
Noster, where the<br />
universality of the<br />
Catholic Church is evident in the tiled mosaics of the Lord's Prayer in<br />
many languages. We finish our day at the Chapel of the Ascension<br />
from where Jesus ascended to Heaven. We return to our hotel for dinner<br />
and an early lights out.<br />
Day 8 December 3, 2012 Stations of the Cross<br />
This morning we wake very early for one of the highlights of our trip.<br />
As the sun rises we retrace the last steps of Jesus on Good Friday. As<br />
we walk along the Via Dolorosa (Way of Sorrow), through the Old City<br />
we will pray the Stations of the Cross as we walk the same path Jesus<br />
took. We reflect on the greatness of His sacrifice as we arrive at the<br />
Church of the <strong>Holy</strong> Sepulchre for Mass. We return to our hotel for<br />
breakfast before visiting St. Anne's Church, the home of the Virgin<br />
Mary and her parents Saints Joachim and Anne. We will see the Ecce<br />
Home where Pilate proclaimed "Behold the man," the Wailing Wall (the<br />
most holy place for Jews). We exit at Mt. Zion to visit the Upper Room<br />
of the Last Supper and the Dormition Abbey where we believe the<br />
Blessed Mary died. We end the day at St. Peter in Gallicantu where<br />
Peter denied Christ three times. This afternoon you will have free time<br />
to rest or explore Jerusalem. Return to our hotel for dinner and a restful<br />
overnight.<br />
Day 9, December 4, 2012 <strong>The</strong> Wilderness: Bethany, Jericho, Mt.<br />
Temptation, Dead Sea<br />
We begin our day with a visit to Bethany where Jesus raised Lazarus<br />
from the dead. As we head east of Jerusalem into the desert, you will<br />
begin to understand the rich Christian tradition of this region. As we<br />
continue on we will see the Monastery of St. George, just off the Roman<br />
road that Jesus 'walked.' As we reach the oasis town of Jericho,<br />
we visit the excavations of the oldest city in the world and enjoy a<br />
splendid view of Mt. Temptation where Jesus fasted and was tempted<br />
by Satan. Before returning to Jerusalem we stop at the Dead Sea<br />
where we will have time for a swim (or rather a float) in the mineral-rich<br />
waters. <strong>The</strong> Dead Sea is renowned for its healing properties and various<br />
skin products. Due to the geographic position it is warm enough to<br />
swim year round! As we return to Jerusalem, there will be time for you<br />
to revisit some of your favorite sites, finish your last minute shopping,<br />
and rest. We gather for our final dinner at our hotel.<br />
Day 10, December 5, 2012 Tel Aviv - USA<br />
Early morning departure for Tel Aviv Airport for Boston. Take time to<br />
reflect on all you have seen during your visit to the <strong>Holy</strong> <strong>Land</strong> and the<br />
many ways in which your faith has grown.

every effort will be made to follow the itinerary, it should be considered<br />

and other events may necessitate changes in the sequence of visits or the<br />
missing of certain visits. We will have daily mass and strive to be in<br />
places as indicated. However, sometimes this is not possible as the site<br />
may not be available for Mass or itinerary changes are forced upon us. In<br />
this case an alternative site for Mass will be arranged.<br />
