We begin our day with a visit to Bethany where Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead. The desert east of Jerusalem is rich in Christian tradition. Further east, just off the Roman road that Jesus “walked,” is Wadi Qelt gorge, site of the Monastery of St George. At the oasis town of Jericho, visit the excavations of the oldest city in the world and view Mt. Temptation where Jesus fasted and was tempted by Satan. We then descend to the lowest place on earth, the Dead Sea, where we will have time for a swim (or rather a float!) in the mineral-rich waters, renowned for their healing properties. Return to Jerusalem. Before we enjoy dinner at a local restaurant, we have a closing session, where we can voice our impressions and share our feelings after this intense spiritual journey. Dinner and overnight, Jerusalem
