I N T R O D U C T I O N & S A M P L E D A Y - B Y - D A Y I T I N E R A R Y

March 9/Day 1-: Departure from New York

Board your flight for the start of your journey to Tel Aviv, with complimentary

meals and beverages served on board.

March 10/Day 2: Arrive Tel Aviv

Arrival in Tel Aviv, you will be met by the 206 Tours representative and trans-

fer to your hotel in the Tel Aviv area.

March 11/Day 3: Caesarea - Stella Maris - Nazareth - Tiberias

This morning after breakfast leave for Caesarea, which was once the ancient

capital of the Roman province. After enjoying the view of the bay of Acco,

drive to Nazareth, the site of Mary’s home and the town where Jesus lived as

a child. At Nazareth visit the Byzantine Church of St. Joseph and Mary’s Well.

Continue to Tiberias to check – in to your hotel.

March 12/Day 4: Tiberias: Sea of Galilee

After breakfast we start with a boat ride on the Sea of Galilee. After this, see

the remains of a boat that dates back to the time of Jesus, found buried in

mud. Continue to the Mount of Beatitudes, scene of Jesus’ great Sermon on

the Mount. Nearby is Tabgha, where Jesus fed the crowd of 5,000 and onto

the site known as “Peter’s Primacy”. In the late afternoon visit Cana, where

Jesus performed His first miracle at the request of His mother [John 2:1-11].

Here visit the Franciscan chapel where those who wish to may renew their wedding vows.

March 13/Day 5: Jordan River - Mt. Tabor – Jericho – Jordan River -

Jerusalem

Today, after breakfast, drive to Mount Tabor, the site of the Transfiguration,

with time to reflect on Christ’s Humanity and Divinity. Mass here will be a

good preparation for the journey to Jerusalem where Jesus was to suffer the

crucifixion and resurrection. Drive down the Jordan Valley to Jericho, the

oldest continuously inhabited city in the world, where we view Mt Temptation

and an example of a Sycamore Tree. Visit the Baptismal site on the Jordan River then to Jerusalem, where you check-in to your hotel.

March 14/Day 6: Jerusalem: Temple Model - Ein Karem - Bethlehem

Begin the day with a visit to the Second Temple scale model for an overview

of Jerusalem as it was at the time of Jesus. A short drive takes us to the vil-

lage of Ein Karem, birthplace of John the Baptist, to visit the church that

commemorates his memory. Pray the Mystery of the Rosary on the walk up

the hill to the Church of the Visitation. In the afternoon visit Bethlehem to see

the cave at the Shepherds’ Field. The caves have soot marks of the fires that shepherd’s lit to keep warm while watching over their flocks. In the afternoon

we will depart to Bethlehem, beginning at Manger Square, which stands in

front of one of the oldest of Christian churches, the Church of the Nativity.

Enter the Church and down to the Grotto of the Nativity which marks the spot

of Jesus’ birth. After Mass we will return to the hotel in Jerusalem.

March 15/Day 7: Bethany - Masada - Dead Sea

This morning drive down the Jordan Valley to Qumran where the Dead Sea

Scrolls were found. Take the cable car to the top of Masada to learn about the

heroic last stand of the Zealots. Afterwards there may be time for a dip in the Dead Sea for those who want to. Drive through the Judean Wilderness where

Jesus spent 40 days fasting, and it is in this area that John the Baptist lived

and baptized Christ. Then to Bethany where He raised Lazarus from the dead.

Celebrate Mass here before returning to the hotel.

March 16/Day 8: Jerusalem: Mt. Of Olives - Gethsemane - Mt. Zion -

Western Wall

From the Mount of Olives take in the panoramic view of Jerusalem. Then to

the Pater Noster shrine, where Jesus taught His disciples the Pater Noster — The Lord’s Prayer (Luke 11:1-4).

At Gethsemane reflect on Jesus’ final night. The Garden contains trees, the

roots of which go back to the time of Jesus. Visit the Church of All Nations to

pray at the “Rock of Agony,” a section of bedrock identified as the place

where Jesus prayed alone in the garden on the night of His arrest. Visit the

Western Wall, to see all that remains of the Temple compound that dates to

the time of Jesus. From here we will continue to the house of the High Priest

Caiaphas where He was interrogated and imprisoned. Now called Peter in

Gallicantu (“crowing rooster”), this beautiful Church also commemorates

Peter’s Denial of Christ, his repentance and then being forgiven by Jesus. After Mass we will go up to Mt. Zion to visit the Upper Room, which commem-

orates the Last Supper. Nearby is the Benedictine Church of the Dormition.

March 17/Day 9: Jerusalem: Via Dolorosa - Holy Sepulchre

This morning we start the Via Dolorosa (The Way of the Cross) at the Antonia

Fortress, where Jesus was condemned to death by Pontius Pilate. From there

He was taken through the city to be crucified. The Stations of the Cross lead,

through the markets of the Old City to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.

Here is the site of Calvary and the Tomb of Christ. Mass will be in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. After breakfast visit the Church of St Anne’s, the Pool

of Bethesda and the Sisters of Zion. This afternoon there will be time to revis-

it the Old City.

March 18/Day 10 - Jerusalem - Tel Aviv - Rome

After an early breakfast we make our way to Tel Aviv Airport for our flight(s)

to Rome. Upon arrival in Rome you will be greeted by your tour escort and/or

driver. After a warm welcome to Italy, you will be escorted to your transpor-tation to your hotel. Enjoy a free afternoon for rest, relaxation, or explora-

tion. Your tour escort can suggest sights or walks for you to enjoy.

March 19/Day 11 - Christian Rome

This morning we awake in the Eternal City, one of the centers of Western

civilization! After a filling breakfast we depart on our sightseeing tour which

will offer insight into the most significant Catholic sites in Rome. We will have

an opportunity to see the Basilica of St. Mary Major, one of the oldest shrines

dedicated to the Blessed Virgin, which contains a relic from the manger of the

infant Jesus. We will see the Holy Stairs and visit the Basilica of St. John the Lateran, which was the residence of the popes prior to returning to Rome in

1377. We also explore St. Paul Outside the Walls, which houses the remains

of St. Paul under its main altar. We will see the Appian Way, the oldest road

from Roman times, as well as the famous Domino Quo Vadis Chapel, the

ancient Baths of Caracalla, Arch of Drusus and the Tomb of Celilia Metella.

Our day ends with a special visit to one of the catacombs, such as St. Callix-

tus, where the early Christians hid themselves to escape persecution for their

devout faith. Time permitting we will also visit the Trevi Fountain to take part

in the tradition of throwing 3 coins into the fountain in hopes of returning to Rome.

March 20/Day 12 - Rome (Papal Audience & Vatican City)

After an early breakfast we depart for Vatican City, the spiritual capital for all

Catholics around the world. Vatican City is it's own city-state nestle within

Rome, and it even has it's own currency and postage! Today is truly a day

which will live in our hearts for many years to come. We make our way to St.

Peter's Basilica where we will attend the Papal Audience given by His Holiness

the Pope (pending papal schedule). Following the audience we will visit the

Vatican Museums, an astonishing series of galleries which contain the most impressive spiritual and art treasures. You will see awe-inspiring relics and

works of art donated throughout centuries as tributes of faith. We will visit

the Tapestry Gallery, the Raphael Rooms and the breathtaking Sistine Chapel

where we will see Michelangelo's masterpiece the Last Judgment. We contin-

ue our exploration of the Vatican as we enter the largest church in Christen-

dom - St. Peter's Basilica. Built on the site where St. Peter was martyred. St.

Peter's is unsurpassed in beauty; a monument to the long history of the

Catholic Church, to which pilgrims from around the world flock. You will have

time to marvel at the Pieta and Bernini's amazing bronze canopy. We will also visit the tomb of Pope John Paul II located in the Vatican.

March 21/Day 13 - Rome - New York

We bid farewell to Italy and our new pilgrimage family as we depart for Rome

Airport. During the drive take time to reflect on the memories that will remain

in your heart for a lifetime. Or continue onto Assisi

POST Tour to Assisi March 21-23, 2013

March 21/Day 13: Rome - Siena - Assisi

After breakfast we depart the Eternal City and head north to Siena, the birth-

place of Saints Catherine and Bernardine and one of Italy’s loveliest medieval cities. Here we will stroll the Piazza Del Campo, one of Italy’s finest squares

and visit the Cathedral and the Basilica of St. Francis, containing the miracu-

lous consecrated hosts that remained intact since 1730. View the incorrupt

head of St. Catherine at the Basilica of St. Dominic. We continue on to Assisi

for dinner and overnight.

March 22/Day 14: Assisi

Visit the tomb of St Francis. Explore the quaint hilltop birthplace of St Francis

that still retains something of the atmosphere of the early 1200s, the period when St Francis began his ministry. Contained within the huge 13th-century

Basilica are many of the saint's possessions and a series of frescoes depicting

his life. You may kneel before the crucifix from which Jesus spoke to St Fran-

cis, asking him to rebuild His church. It was in St Mary of the Angels Basilica

where St Francis spent most of his life. Here we visit the Chapel, Portiuncola,

the rose bush, and the cave where the saint retired for prayer. Stroll the

medieval streets of the compact little town. After stopping at an outdoor cafe

with a view of an ancient Roman temple, we go to the Church of St Clare to

see the saint's incorrupt body. The foundress of the Order of Poor Clares

followed the teachings of St Francis by living a life of poverty and humility. We will visit these two saints' tombs before dinner and retiring for the even-

ing.

March 23/Day 15: Assisi - New York

We bid farewell to our new friends and to a pilgrimage which will be in our

memories for a long time to come. Early departure from Assisi for Florence or

Rome Airport for our return flight to the USA. We fondly say, Arrivederci Ita-

lia!

place, 206 Tours is not liable for restitution. Though every effort will be made to follow the itinerary, it should be considered as an indication of the tour, rather than a contract of places to be visited. Occasionally local

religious holidays, national days, traffic conditions and other events may necessitate changes in the sequence of visits or the missing of certain visits. We will have daily mass and strive to be in places as indicated.

tion to travel including the dates of travel. We also suggest you contact the appropriate consulate and airlines because they may have additional requirements. For the purposes of 206 Tours trips an infant is defined as
