A Pilgrimage to the Holy Land with Cliff College and McCabe Pilgrimages
This pilgrimage to the Holy Land will run from Wednesday 15 - Friday 24 June 2022. Our trip will include the sites where the most important events in Jesus' life and ministry took place: in Jerusalem and the surrounding area and further north in Galilee. We hope that if you have never been on pilgrimage to the Holy Land before you will choose to join us and, if you have been before, we welcome you back. Our journey is a life changing as well as faith changing experience.
It is always very moving to make a pilgrimage to the Holy Land - there is so much to see and experience and learn together. We invite you to come and know this for yourselves whether you are new to the Holy Land or have been many times before; there are always new sights and sounds to reflect upon. Reading the gospels will never be the same again and by visiting the Holy Land we are standing in solidarity with our brothers and sisters there too. To have the chance to meet the ‘living stones’, the local Palestinian and Israeli Christians who are the ongoing, living church in the region, is humbling.
Five gospels record the life of Jesus. Four you will find in books and the one you will find in the land they call Holy. Read the fifth gospel and the world of the four will open to you.
