This was our third GMP trip to Israel. This posting will primarily consist of a photo album with appropriate captions and a few videos. The album is presented in chronological order of the places we visited this time. The blog on our first trip can be found here and our second trip blog can be found here.
The photo album for this trip can be found here. We were given a demonstration of how they fished on the Sea of Galilee in Jesus' time. The video of that is here. The interior front of the Church of the Nativity is quite ornate. Here is a video that shows the altar area of the Church. We were treated to two excellent views of Jerusalem, one was from the Shepherd's Field in Bethlehem and the second from Herodion. Here is the view from the Shepherd's Field and here is the video taken from Herodion. While we were in Old Jerusalem some people were celebrating a Bar Mitzvah. It was rather loud but interesting. It is a special honor for a boy to have his Bar Mitxvah in the Holy City (and expensive). The video for this Bar Mitzvah is here. We managed to take our harpist's harp in the Garden of the tomb. Just before having communion we had the luxury of hearing her play "In the Garden" and a few other numbers. Here is the video of "In the Garden".
