Come to the Holy Land in 2015

Diana von Glahn

This Christmas, as I knelt at Mass, sang Christmas songs, and looked upon the little creche in my parish church, everything I saw, everything I thought of was the Holy Land.

When we sang “Silent Night,” “Away in A Manger,” “O Holy Night,” and “O Little Town of Bethlehem,” I was in the cave at the Church of the Nativity.

When we sang “Angels we Have Heard on High,” I was in Shepherd’s Fields.

My life will never be the same. Christmas. Easter. The Feast of the Holy Family. Good Friday. My prayer life will never be the same. And I feel so blessed as a result.

January 10th is the deadline to sign up for my Holy Land pilgrimage, April 17-26, 2015, and there are still spots left! Will you fill one of them?

If you’re thinking about joining us, let me show you some of what I’ve written and produced on the Holy Land. If you know someone who wants to go, and who would find this info useful, please send them a link to this post. The more, the merrier!

Let’s see…

There is the series I produced, The Faithful Traveler in the Holy Land, which you can watch in its entirety right here. Here’s an introduction to the series:

An Introduction to The Faithful Traveler in the Holy Land from The Faithful Traveler on Vimeo.

Then, there are all my photos, which you can browse here.

And there are the blog posts. I’ve blogged about the Holy Land so much since going. I can’t shut up about it! It was SO AWESOME!
