Palestine of Jesus

“The Palestine of Jesus course combines biblical and historical studies with pilgrimage to selected sites connected with Jesus’ life, ministry, death, and resurrection.”

The Palestine of Jesus course combines biblical and historical studies with pilgrimage to selected sites connected with Jesus’ life, ministry, death, and resurrection. It has a greater focus on the historical contexts and cultures in which Jesus’ exercised his earthly ministry than the shorter Footsteps of Jesus course.

During your stay you will be a guest of ‘living stones’, the local Palestinian Christian community, with whom you will draw nearer to Christ in the breaking of the bread.
