Israel My Personal Journey 40 Day Contemplative Devotional

Itinerary

The 40-day journey is divided into four distinct segments, each with its own unique focus and itinerary.

1. Week 1: The Galilee

   The journey begins in the Galilee, the region where Jesus spent much of his ministry. You will visit the Sea of Galilee, where Jesus preached and performed miracles, and explore the ancient towns of Nazareth and Capernaum.

2. Week 2: Jerusalem

   The journey continues to Jerusalem, the holy city that is sacred to Jews, Christians, and Muslims. You will visit the Western Wall, the Temple Mount, and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, and walk in the footsteps of Jesus during his final days.

3. Week 3: The Negev Desert

   The journey ventures into the Negev Desert, a vast and arid region that was home to the patriarchs and prophets of the Bible. You will visit the ancient city of Beersheba, hike in the Ein Gedi Nature Reserve, and experience the solitude and beauty of the desert wilderness.

4. Week 4: The Dead Sea and the Jordan River

   The journey concludes at the Dead Sea, the lowest point on Earth, and the Jordan River, where Jesus was baptized. You will float in the salty waters of the Dead Sea, renew your baptismal vows in the Jordan River, and reflect on the transformative power of water.
