Christianity has a long and rich history in Israel, dating back to the time of Jesus himself. According to the New Testament, Jesus spent much of his life in the region, preaching and performing miracles. After his death and resurrection, his followers continued to spread his teachings, eventually establishing the Church of Jerusalem. Over the centuries, the city has been an important centre of Christian worship and pilgrimage, with numerous churches and monasteries built on the sites associated with Jesus’ life and ministry.
The tour of Christian sites in Jerusalem begins with a visit to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, one of the most significant sites in Christianity. This church is believed to be the place where Jesus was crucified, buried, and resurrected, making it a sacred site for Christians worldwide. Visitors will explore the church’s interior, seeing the Golgotha, where Jesus was crucified, and the tomb of Jesus.
