Guide to the Holy Land. In the Footsteps of Jesus.

The Holy Land Guide, the result of many years of experience, is intended by its authors to help pilgrims experience the emotions felt in the places where Christ was born, lived, died, and rose again. It is useful before the journey, to learn everything necessary to know; during the journey, to savor the history, art, archaeology, and spirituality of the various places visited, as well as the biblical passages connected with the sites where those events took place; and afterward, to internalize emotions, consolidate information, and translate the pilgrimage into everyday life. It includes texts for Holy Masses and other celebrations in the holy places, the Stations of the Cross, and hymns. Every pilgrim has the opportunity to experience the encounter par excellence and to listen to the voice of the Lord deep within. Breathing the air Jesus breathed and walking along the roads he traveled inspires us to nourish ourselves with the Word that became flesh in this land. The cover pocket contains a removable map showing the present-day cartography of the Holy Land and that of Jesus’ time.
