The Galilea is a central and famous pilgrimage site for Christianity, as major Christian holy
sites are located there. Three years of preaching by Jesus created a famous central pilgrim
for Christianity, most located in Galilea. Our road trip starts with the famous church of
Annunciation in Nazareth where Mary, Mother of Jesus received the annunciation from
Angel Gabriel. Leading us to the most important churches for the Christendom located in
Bethlehem & Jerusalem. With the 12 apostles wandering in the Galilee, Jesus left in the
holy land great major pilgrim sites like Cana, Capernaum, Mount of Beatitude and more.
All these sites refer to religious theological events which design not only the pilgrim road
for pilgrims but also represent the face of history during the last 2000 years. The course
will take the students on a tour through some of the major sites, and will include lectures on
these sites along with articles.
