After breakfast, drive to Mount of Olives, a location of many biblical events. In the Old Testament, King David fled over the Mount of Olives to escape when his son Absalom rebelled (2 Samuel 15:30). Walk down the hill, to the Garden of Gethsemane, where Jesus prayed on the night of His betrayal and arrest (Mark 14:32-41). Afterwards enter the old city via the Lions Gate. Also visit the St. Anne Church, built by Crusaders in the 12th century on the site where Saints Anne and Joachim, parents of the Blessed Virgin Mary, lived according to tradition. Walk along the Via Dolorosa or “Way of Sorrows” is the traditional route followed by Jesus from the Praetorium or Judgment Hall to Golgotha, the place of crucifixion. The approximate route followed by Jesus after His condemnation to death by Pilate (Matt 27:26; Mark 15:15; Luke 23:25; John 19:16). The path leads through the Muslim and Christian Quarters to the Holy Sepulcher, which according to the New Testament is where Jesus was crucified at Golgotha, “the place of the skull” (Matt. 27:33–35; Mark 15:22–25; John 19:17–24). Explore the Jewish Quarter and visit the famous Western / Wailing Wall, today the most sacred place for Jews. The Western Wall known in the West as the Wailing Wall, and in Islam as the Buraq Wall, is a portion of ancient limestone wall in the Old City of Jerusalem that forms part of the larger retaining wall of the hill known to Jews and Christians as the Temple Mount. There is time for shopping in the markets before leaving the Old city. Enjoy Dinner and overnight in the hotel in Jerusalem.

And when he came up out of water, immediately he saw the heavens opened and the Spirit descending upon him like a dove, and a voice came from heaven; ‘Thou art my beloved Son, with thee I am well pleased.” Mark 1:9-11 In the early afternoon reach Nazareth, where Jesus was raised.

After breakfast, drive through the upper Galilee to Caesarea Philippi. Caesarea Philippi is the site of an ancient spring in northern Israel where Jesus took his disciples to reveal his identity as the Messiah. This site was also an important stronghold for the Crusaders, due to its strategic location and religious importance. Continue to the Sea of Galilee and visit Capernaum. Matthew 4:13 tells us that Jesus left Nazareth and went to live in Capernaum after meeting temptation in the wilderness. Here he met James, John, Peter, Andrew all fishermen and Matthew a tax collector, five of his future disciples. Here Jesus held many important sermons and performed some of his miracles. Continue with a boat ride on the Sea of Galilee where Jesus walked and His disciples fished.
