"Rome is often the first place people think of when considering the
Catholic Church. In Rome, a Catholic experiences the beauty, grandeur
and history of Catholicism. Most of the disciples, martyred for their
faith, are buried there. The Vatican Museums display beautiful art,
produced over centuries and depicting what Catholics hold sacred. In the
life of the Catholic Church, Rome is its Sunday best.
But Israel is the place to experience the day-to-day, living faith of Christianity." - Elizabeth Westhoff
Israel is not only the birthplace of Jesus Christ, but it is also the birthplace of the Catholic Church. It's numerous breathtaking religious sites and locations make this one of the most sought after locations to experience a pilgrimage.
The Western Wall in Jerusalem is the holiest of Jewish sites, sacred because it's a remnant of the Herodian retaining wall that once enclosed and supported the Second Temple. |
