Explore Near East and Holy Land pilgrimages to Jerusalem, Bethlehem, Nazareth, Galilee, Jordan, Egypt, Lebanon, and other sacred destinations at the heart of biblical and Christian history.
Journey Through the Lands of the Bible and Early Christianity
A pilgrimage to the Near East is an encounter with the geographical and spiritual foundations of Christianity. Across this region—frequently described today as the Middle East—pilgrims can walk through landscapes associated with the patriarchs and prophets, the life of Jesus Christ, the Apostles, and the first generations of Christians.
Pilgrimages to the Holy Land
At the heart of every Christian pilgrimage to the Near East is the Holy Land. In Bethlehem, Nazareth, Galilee, and Jerusalem, pilgrims enter the places connected with the Birth, ministry, Passion, Death, and Resurrection of Jesus. Visiting these sacred sites offers an extraordinary opportunity to read the Gospel through the land itself and to understand more deeply the historical setting of the Christian faith.
Sacred Destinations Beyond the Holy Land
The biblical world extends throughout the surrounding region. Jordan preserves places such as Mount Nebo, Madaba, and the traditional site of the Baptism of Jesus. Egypt recalls the journey of the Holy Family and the origins of Christian monasticism, while Lebanon offers a rich biblical heritage and the living traditions of the Eastern Churches.
