BASINGSTOKE, U.K. - Sept. 19, 2018 - PRLog -- Lightline Pilgrimages has spaces on its group trip to Israel, departing 19 November.

Comments The Very Rev'd Paul Kennington, who will be leading the group: "A pilgrimage offers a very particular opportunity to engage our sacred Scriptures contextually, and to learn more about the foundational stories of our Christian faith.

"Unlike many trips from Britain, our pilgrimage will not only visit local Christians, but will also support them. We will be looked after by a Christian owned and run travel

company, stay in Christian pilgrim houses, and eat in Christian restaurants."

The holiday will commence with three nights at a guest house close to the Sea of Galilee, in the north of the country, where Jesus first 'recruited' some of the fisherman, to help Him to spread 'the word'.

Whilst in the region, the group will visit Mount Tabor, Nazareth – where Jesus grew up - the Basilica of the Annunciation, Cana, the site of Jesus' first sign and miracle where he turned water into wine, and sites associated with the call of the first disciples including the multiplication of the loaves and fishes, the teaching of the Sermon on the Mount and the excavations of the ancient fishing village of Capernaum.

There will also be a sailing trip on a modern-day version of the boat used for fishing at the time of Jesus, and a visit to also see the remains of a similar boat which dates back to the early First Century.

Leaving Galilee, the group will head south through the heart of the West Bank, for an overnight stop in Bethlehem, with stops en route at Nablus and Jacob's Well, and the banks of the River Jordan to the site believed to be close to where Jesus was baptized by John.

After seeing the Church of the Nativity and the controversial 'wall of separation', the group will head for Jerusalem, for the final four nights.

Highlights in the area will include the Church of the Nativity, the Wailing Wall, Jacob's Well, the Gardens of Gethsemane, the Dome of the Rock and the Holocaust Museum.

The holiday costs from £1995 pp (two sharing) which includes flights, all transportation, nine nights' full board, sightseeing. entrance fees and a guide.
