Our Itinerary: The Big Picture
The map at left will orient you to the major sections of our pilgrimage.
1. Jordan "Prequel": The black line traces the major sites visited during our Jordan Extension. Canon Vicars and this group fly from Toronto to Amman on May 16, 2022. At the end of our 5 days of touring Jordan we cross into Israel on May 21 at the Allenby Bridge, have lunch and spend some of the afternoon visiting the ancient ruins of Beit She'an. Then we drive to our hotel in Galilee, where over dinner, we will link up with the rest of our entourage.
3. Living Stones Pilgrimage: Those not participating in the Jordan Extension will fly from Toronto to Tel Aviv on May 20, 2022. Bishop Terry & Diane will accompany this group. It is an overnight flight and, upon arrival May 21, we transfer to our Hotel in Galilee where we will link up with those pilgrims who have been in Jordan for the past 5 days.
We then begin the "Living Stones 2022 Pilgrimage." The Red Line on the map outlines some of our route through Israel and Palestine. Beginning from our base in Nazareth, we visit Holy Sites in the Galilee region. We make visits to Capernaum, Caesarea Philippi, Cana, Mt. Tabor, Mt. Carmel and many other sites in the north of Israel.
On May 25 we make our way south through the area once called Samaria to Jerusalem. On the way we visit the Ruins of Samaria and Jacob's Well. In Jerusalem we check into the Golden Walls Hotel -- across the street from the Damascus Gate -- which will be our base for the rest of our pilgrimage. From here we make day trips to visit Jerusalem, Bethlehem, the Judean Desert, Jericho, Hebron, and other sites. On June 1, 2022 we fly home to Toronto (although most of the entourage will likely stay for an extra two days in Jerusalem.)
3. Jerusalem Extension: The idea of the Jerusalem Extension is that once you are already in Jerusalem, the cost of staying on a couple extra days is really quite nominal. During the extension, you can shop, wander around the Old City, or follow Bishop Terry and Vicars as they continue to explore, albeit at a slower pace. We then depart for Canada on June 3, 2022.
