Day 6: Venture to Bethlehem

Today's trip to the Church of the Visitation at Ein Karem reminds us of the visit paid by the Virgin Mary to Elizabeth, the mother of John the Baptist. Here you’ll see the 42 ceramic tablets bearing the verses of the Magnificat in as many different languages. Next, yo...

Day 7: Off to Admire the Masada Fortress and the Dead Sea
