Holy Land, Egypt & Jordan
A Catholic Pilgrimage to the Holy Land with Select International Tours
Written accounts of Catholic pilgrims traveling to the Holy Land to deepen their faith and walk where Jesus walked begin in the fourth century, although Christians have certainly venerated the sites there since the very beginning of our faith. Saint Helen went to the Holy Land in 324 and working with the local Christian people, found many of the sites pilgrims visit today. When traveling to the places where Jesus was born, preached, died, and rose again, it pays to have experts to guide you, so you can see the most important places, stay in the best hotels, eat at the best restaurants, and shop in stores that support the Christian population living there. Select International Tours, a trusted travel provider with 38 years of experience curates exceptional pilgrimages and can guide and care for you on this transformative journey.
