Day 2 – May 11, 2022: AKKO & HAIFA
Upon arrival in Tel Aviv, at Ben Gurion Airport, you will be met by your guide and begin your tour of the Holy Land! A short drive up the coast from Tel Aviv, we arrive at Akko, the perfect place to begin your exploration of the Holy Land. For thousands of years, Akko (Acre) has thrived on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea. The city was first mentioned in the Bible as part of the tribe of Asher’s inheritance and then reappeared as Ptolemais in the book of Acts. Akko’s impressive harbor was known for centuries as the Gateway to the Holy Land, and here thousands of ships brought international dignitaries, lumber, spices, and other exotic goods. Akko is the best-preserved Crusader city in the country, with its deep-water port, was the Crusaders link with Christian Europe. Here we will admire the views of the impressive crusader fortress, walk on the stone walls overlooking the Mediterranean, and meander through the colorful markets. From here we drive to Haifa, on the Slopes of Mount Carmel. Its mountain top is the home of the “Cave of Elijah.” Atop Mount Carmel is this grotto linked to the prophets Elijah and Elisha. We will also visit a monastery by the name of Stella Maris, Latin for “Star of the Sea” referring to an early title accorded to Mary, the mother of Jesus. Finally, we will arrive at our hotel for check-in, dinner, and overnight. (D)

Then we gather at the Antonia Palace to walk the Via Dolorosa, the Way of the Cross or the Way of Suffering, where nearly 2000 years ago Jesus of Nazareth carried his cross to his crucifixion. We conclude the Via Dolorosa at the site of Calvary for Mass at the Crusader’s Chapel in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. We take a moment here to reflect on the sorrows of Jesus and to repent our own sins. And he said to him, “Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise.” We enjoy a guided tour of the Holy Sepulcher and the Empty Tomb. The rest of the day is free to explore on your own.

After our breakfast in the morning, we take some time to pack and get ready for our evening flight.
Today is our last touring day in the Holy Land. We will drive to the village of Emmaus. This village was the setting for one of the most touching of Christ’s post-resurrection appearances. After Jesus’ resurrection, two men (one of them named Cleopas) were walking from Jerusalem to a village called Emmaus (Luke 24:13, 18). The men did not recognize Jesus when he appeared to them and began walking with them on the road to Emmaus (Luke 24:14-16). Here we visit a church dedicated to this event.
Then, we will be driving to the modern city of Tel Aviv. We will enjoy a tour of the city by bus. Finally, we arrive in the biblical town of Joppa known today as Jaffa. Peter came to Joppa from Lydda to raise Tabitha (Dorcas) from the dead (Acts 9:36-42). While in Joppa, the apostle stayed at the house of Simon the Tanner. When Peter was praying on the roof, he had a vision of a large sheet filled with animals being lowered from heaven (Acts 9:43–10:23), signaling to him to go with the messengers from Cornelius, a centurion in the Roman army. The Church of St. Peter marks the traditional site of Peter’s vision of the great sheet. (A farewell dinner in Jaffa – optional) and drive to Ben Gurion Airport.
