Trinity Episcopal Church is organizing a group to attend the “Palestine of Jesus” pilgrimage course at St. George’s College Jerusalem this spring from February 23 to March 3, 2016. The trip is open to people from all congregations in the diocese.
The 10-day course is $2,330 (includes course and housing fees). Trinity organizers have to submit a $300 deposit for each attendee by August 15.
Deposits can be made by leaving a check in the church office at Trinity or by completing the online payment form on Trinity’s webpage.
ABOUT THE COURSE
“Palestine of Jesus” is the foundational course of St George’s College and is a good introduction to the Holy Land. It is a pilgrimage course focusing upon the key events in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus and the sacred landscapes in which they take place, often referred to as the Fifth Gospel. During the course, participants will visit major sites of Jesus’ life and ministry such as Bethlehem, Nazareth, the Jordan River, the Sea of Galilee and the Judean Desert. Along with the emphasis on Jesus’ Galilean ministry, the course traces the Jerusalem Passion Narratives including visits to the Mount of Olives, the Garden of Gethsemane, the Way of the Cross, and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, containing the traditional sites of the Crucifixion (Calvary) and the Resurrection (the Tomb of Christ). The overarching goal of the course is to introduce course members to the biblical geography of sacred scripture, focusing primarily on the life of Christ.
