The Pilgrim Experience
• At the Mount of Beatitudes, site of the Sermon on the Mount, pilgrims celebrate Mass in the garden overlooking the Sea of Galilee. Pilgrims renew their Baptismal promises at the Jordan River.
• At. Mount Tabor, pilgrims feel the presence of God at the Church of the Transfiguration.
• At the Church of the Visitation, where Mary and Elizabeth met while both pregnant, pilgrims hear the Magnificat in multiple languages.
• Pilgrims take a “floating experience” on the Dead Sea.
