About The Holy Land
Few places on earth carry the spiritual weight of the Holy Land. Jerusalem's Old City alone holds sacred ground for three of the world's great religions — the Western Wall, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, and the Dome of the Rock stand within walking distance of one another. Beyond Jerusalem, Bethlehem, Nazareth, the Sea of Galilee, and the Jordan River trace the footsteps of scripture across a landscape that has shaped human civilization for millennia.
