Nativity Church
2022年12月11日, パレスチナ ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C
Our final stop today was the Church of the Nativity. As it turns out, at times, groups can wait 3-4hrs to get into the small grotto, it took us maybe 15mins. Inside the Grotto there is a silver 14 point star that is the actual place that Jesus Christ was born, on the left was a shrine for the manger. I actually became quite emotional while in the grotto, it did make tear up. It was incredible to see children and adults, of all faiths coming to witness such a place.もっと詳しく

Bethlehem University
2022年12月12日, パレスチナ ⋅ ⛅ 13 °C
Bethlehem University is an oasis of peace amongst unrest. I didn’t expect today’s visit to the campus to be as emotional as it did.

We started by going into the campus chapel, which is dedicated to Jesus as a child, the only one of its kind in the Holy Land. Our tour guide took us into a room where we met with the Vice Chancellor, Brother Peter Bray, who is a De La Salle Brother from New Zealand. Peter has been the Vice Chancellor for 15 years and his passion for education and young people was so strong. He told us all about the university and some of its history, including the 12 times it has been closed due to conflict or war.

We were then introduced to five young ambassadors. Four of them travel each day to campus from Jerusalem. Because Jerusalem is in Israel and Bethlehem is in Palestine, you have to cross the checkpoint to get into Bethlehem.

These checkpoints can be very daunting and a scary task for the students. At the checkpoints they can be checked for ID, their car searched and they themselves can even be subject to strip searches.
These searches are all random and dependent on the mood of the checkpoint guards. Sometimes the checkpoints can even be closed, which means students cannot get to campus.

One of the students was born in Palestine, which means she holds a green coloured ID. This means she cannot enter Israel/Jerusalem. To travel internationally she cannot cross the boarder and use the Tel Aviv, she has to travel to Jordan and fly from here.

Hearing the students talk about their experiences was absolutely heartbreaking, and it just makes you realise how very lucky each of us are to not just attend university, but do you so safely, and without fear.

At the end, we had a small question and answer time and I asked the student ambassadors if “they had a message they would like us to tell students or people back in Australia, what would it be?”.

Their simple answer:
Share what you have heard here today, tell people about their story, and maybe most powerfully, never take your freedom for granted.もっと詳しく

Palm Sunday Road
2022年12月12日, パレスチナ ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C
Today we walked down the Mount of Olives and the Palm Sunday Road. We stopped half way and celebrated Mass at the Dominus Flevit. As you can see, there is a stunning view of Jerusalem behind the alter. When Jesus walked down this road with the crowd, he would have seen the incredible Temple in front of him, not the golden dome.

At the bottom of the Mount, we stopped at the Garden of Gethsemane. This is where Jesus is said to have prayed before his arrest and where Judas betrayed him.もっと詳しく

Olive trees that were hundreds, maybe thousands of years old! A beautiful church where you can venerate and touch the bedrock and stone that Jesus sat on.

Stations of the Cross
2022年12月15日, パレスチナ ⋅ 🌙 10 °C
We started this morning at 5:30am. It was incredible so the Stations around the Old City and end at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. This Church is on the hill of Calvary, where Jesus was crucified. We climbed to the top and got to touch the bedrock and were even more lucky to celebrate a (quick) Mass in the actual Tomb of Jesus.

During peak tourist time, there can be 4 hour lines to even just walk through this Tomb, so we were very lucky!

Getting to finish the Stations here was incredibly moving. To follow, quite literally, Jesus’ footsteps was emotionally for many.もっと詳しく

A small group of us journeyed on the tram to Yad Vashem. These incredible grounds host not just the museum but gardens, mini exhibitions and shops. The museum was moving, heartbreaking and at times confronting. A must see place that reminds us to never forget, and to never let history repeat.もっと詳しく

Jerusalem Museum & Shrine of the Book
2022年12月16日, イスラエル ⋅ ☀️ 15 °C
In this smaller museum we looked over a 1:50 scale model of Jerusalem during the Second-Temple Period. This was incredible to see the sheer size of the Temple compared to the rest of the buildings. The scale model allows you to see how all the different parts of the Old City were connected and how the people navigated around.

Following this we visited the Book of the Shrine exhibit. Here we saw replicas of some of the Dead Sea Scrolls. The most intact one they found is from approximately 7m long and dated at around 100BCE.もっと詳しく

Farewell Dinner
2022年12月16日, イスラエル ⋅ 🌙 14 °C
This evening we walked to the Notre Dame hotel/restaurant for our farewell dinner. We ate a 3-course meal at the roof top cheese bar. It was wonderful to sit, chat and share our favourite memories from the trip. Miki and I are both pictures here with Pat and Sr Bernice Loch.

After dinner we walked back through the New Gate Christmas Market. We stopped at George’s Ceramic Shop and bought some tiles as gifts. Rami (our guide) actually used to work in the shop and stopped to help us out. He knows everyone in Jerusalem!もっと詳しく

Petra
2022年12月18日, ヨルダン ⋅ ☀️ 9 °C
Seeing the Treasury at Petra has been a bucket-list experience for me. It was very cold when we started our walk but as the sun rose the rocks got warmer. The path was very quiet so we were able to spend time in the entry taking photos with very little people around. As the path opened up to the Treasury, it was breathtaking! The Treasury building is carved out of the side of the mountain, not built!

When it was first “discovered”, people thought there was treasure in the statues and started shooting the rocks at the top to crack them open. You can still see the bullet holes! Unfortunately you can no longer enter the Treasury.

We then walked up to a Byzantine church and various temples. Lunch was at the end of the walk.

On the trek back we got to the Treasury and then caught a golf cart back to the entrance. What an exhausting but incredible day!もっと詳しく

We finally made it to our final destination of the trip. After the hike down to the water we headed in. It was extremely muddy and Miki lost a thong in knee deep mud! I wore my Teva’s in and got stuck so I took them off and threw them to shore. I floated on my back and belly, but I can’t say it was comfortable. The rocks in the water had crystallised salt on them so they were sharp and cut you. Even still, what a once-in-a-lifetime experience!もっと詳しく
