A 10 day Pilgrimage to Israel and Palestine
Following in the Footsteps of Jesus led by The Rt Revd Donald Allister
I hope you can join me for my next Holy Land pilgrimage. I confidently expect that it will be:
- exhilarating
- exhausting
- faith-building
For those who have been with me before, this pilgrimage will be different:
- a full day longer with more activities
- two bases instead of three
- starting with Jerusalem and the south, finishing with Galilee and the north
For those who have not been on such a pilgrimage, please note:
- this is a Christian pilgrimage, and we will worship together, singing, praying, reading the Bible, and celebrating Holy Communion every day
- you need to be physically fit, able to negotiate moderate hill walking, uneven surfaces, and many steps
- we will be well fed with lovely Mediterranean / Middle Eastern food, but we cannot always guarantee to provide special diets.
We will of course abide fully by any public health restrictions that are in place as we travel. Do be assured that Lightline will give full refunds if the pilgrimage has to be cancelled for any reason.
We are limited to 50 pilgrims, so get your booking in quickly
