Each pilgrim\u00a0will return home with a new sense of\u00a0understanding and appreciation of the role\u00a0their Christian brothers and sisters of the Holy\u00a0Land play in keeping Christianity alive and\u00a0vibrant in the Land of Christ.<\/p>\n

To get the most out of your experience, we would encourage you to prepare physically and spiritually. Make time to read the Bible every day, especially those passages of scripture whose context you will encounter on your trip. If you are not already active, commit to a consistent exercise regime in preparation for your journey. There are a lot of steps in the Holy Land!<\/p>\n
Living Stones Pilgrimages also works hard to accommodate particular sites that are of interest to different denominations. The Holy Land is full of sites of major importance to all Christians, but we understand that there are some sites which are of more interest to Catholics, Orthodox, or Protestant Christians. Please let us know your faith background in the questionnaire so that we can create a pilgrimage that suits the interests of your group.<\/p>\n
In keeping with the foundation\u2019s mission to utilize its resources for the benefit of the Christian community in the Holy Land, Living Stones Pilgrimages attempt to bring maximum economic benefit to local Christian Palestinian shopkeepers, travel agents, guides, and hotel operators. By supporting local Christians, we help to preserve their critical presence and influence in the Holy Land.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
