Holy Land & Jordan
Biblical Sites
Walk the Bible — Israel & the Kingdom of Jordan
Pilgrimage Overview
This pilgrimage combines the sacred landscape of the Holy Land with the ancient wonders of the Kingdom of Jordan. Beginning in the Galilee region where Jesus began his public ministry, pilgrims journey through Nazareth, Capernaum, and the Sea of Galilee before crossing to Jerusalem — the city of Christ’s Passion, Death, and Resurrection.
From Israel, the pilgrimage crosses into Jordan to visit Mount Nebo, where Moses looked out over the Promised Land, the Byzantine mosaics of Madaba, the ancient Nabataean city of Petra, and the waters of the Jordan River. This is a journey through the entire sweep of salvation history, from the patriarchs to the Resurrection.
