Started with very moving Mass at Gethsemane with lots of tears and a fantastic homily you can watch here.

Paternoster Church and Ascension on Mount of Olives. Viewing American flags waiving with Israeli flags in the streets. Viewed the new US Embassy in Jerusalem.

  • Save
Lunch at Kibbutz and everything Mount Zion: Dormition of Mary, Upper Room and St. Peter in Gallicantu followed by two hours free time.

AMAZING!!! We entered the crowded Holy Sepulchre without lines, escorted into the Tomb with blaring organ and greetings by the Franciscans! You won’t believe it!
