Old City Exploration: Tracing Jesus’s Path

Your spiritual journey begins at the Mount of Olives, offering a breathtaking panoramic view of Jerusalem. From this iconic vantage point, you’ll gain an initial sense of the Holy City and its biblical significance before descending to explore the ancient walls of Jerusalem’s Old City, the spiritual epicenter where so much of the New Testament unfolded. Prepare to be immersed in centuries of sacred history as you explore its revered Christian quarters:

Along the route within the Old City, your tour includes visits to:

• The Mount of Olives: Begin with a breathtaking panoramic view of Jerusalem, a truly iconic vista that sets the stage for your day before decending the path Jesus would have taken on Palm Sunday.
• Garden of Gethsemane: Walk where Jesus prayed before His crucifixion, a powerful site for contemplation and reflection.
• Kidron Valley: View this historic valley, often mentioned in biblical accounts and a route Jesus frequently took.
• Lion’s Gate: Enter the Old City through this historic gate, leading you directly into its spiritual core, near the Pools of Bethesda and the Antonia Fortress.
• Via Dolorosa: Walk the traditional “Way of Suffering”, the path Jesus took on His way to crucifixion. You’ll pause at several Stations of the Cross for moments of prayer and contemplation, connecting deeply with His sacrifice.
• Church of the Holy Sepulchre: Experience the profound reverence of this holiest of Christian sites, believed to encompass both Calvary (Golgotha), where Jesus was crucified, and His empty Tomb.
• The Cardo: Explore the excavated remains of Jerusalem’s ancient Roman main street, offering a glimpse into the city as it existed during the time of Jesus.

Beyond the Walls: Testament to Christian Faith

Following your profound experience within the Old City, our guides will continue to enrich your understanding of Jerusalem’s Christian heritage.

Next, you’ll have the opportunity to take a closer look at sites outside the immediate Old City walls that are integral to Jerusalem’s Christian story:

• Mount Zion: Visit this historically significant hill, home to key biblical sites for Christians.
• The Upper Room: Discover the traditional site of the Last Supper, where Jesus shared His final meal with His disciples.
• St. Peter in Gallicantu: Explore the traditional site where Peter denied Jesus three times, built over the ruins of Caiaphas’s house.
• The Garden Tomb: Conclude your tour at this serene and meaningful site, believed by many to be the actual site of Jesus’s crucifixion and resurrection. Here, you’ll find a tranquil garden and an ancient tomb, offering a powerful moment of contemplation and hope.
