Greetings from Jerusalem

We have completed our tour of the Galilee and have traveled up to Jerusalem.

On the way to Jerusalem we visited Caesarea by the sea. This is the largest full theater from ancient times still in use today. The largest theater from the time of Jesus was where we had our reading.

We then traveled up to Jerusalem and continued on into the Bethlehem. Bethlehem is very close to Jerusalem and did not take long to reach. We visited a very busy Church of the Nativity where Jesus was born. There were many people wanting to visit during Christmas.

We read the story of Jesus birth and sang silent night.

We then traveled back to Jerusalem and checked into the Olive Tree hotel.

Since we now have reliable internet we will be updating the information here more frequently.

Blessings from Israel
