The Beauty Of Holy Land Vacations

By Ryan Miller


A Christian centered holiday is one of the best things that can happen in the life of a Christian. It is an opportunity like no other that affords one the chance to see the birthplace of Christianity while getting immersed in the beauty and serenity of the Middle East. Christians are encouraged to regularly go for Holy Land vacations so that to build their faith while having a good time. There is a lot to be seen. There will be many good experiences during the course of the vacation. One will meet new people.

Holy Land experience is in a class of its own. It is not only a physical experience. It is also spiritual, emotional and mental. It appeals to all the five senses of the human body. One will see things that he has never seen before. A person will also have a unique kind of serenity especially when visiting some of the holiest sites on planet earth.

By the time the whole affair is over, one will be a changed human being. The old will be gone away. Someone will have a different worldview. A person will no longer be a shallow thinker. Seeing the richness of Middle East and getting to the heartbeat of Christianity, Jerusalem City, is life changing in every sense of the word.

The world has many corners. There is the East where there are the Korean nations, Australia, New Zealand, China, Japan, and a host of other countries. In the Far West, there are Canada, USA, Mexico and Latin American countries. Africa and Europe are near the center. At the middle there is Israel and at the exact center is the City of Jerusalem.

When visiting Jerusalem, it is worth visiting the Church of Holy Sepulchre. This church has a great significance in the Christian faith. It is found in the Christian Quarter of Old City of Jerusalem. This church was founded in 326 AD by Constantine the Great and it can hold close to 8,000 people. It holds many important religious artifacts.

There is the Eastern Quarter and the Western Quarter of Jerusalem. The Eastern Quarter is predominantly Arab and is where one of the most famous mosques of Islam is found. In the western side, there is the Wailing Wall that is a very important symbol of Judaism faith. Every day, people of different faiths usually visit this historical wall and leave their prayers there.

Holy Land holiday will not be complete before visiting the Dead Sea. This is the lowest point on planet earth. This sea has minerals that have therapeutic and cosmetic benefits. While close to the Dead Sea, one can buy highly beneficial Dead Sea products. Other places worth visiting are the Well of Jacob, Mount Sinai and the Pool of Bethsaida.

After a busy year at work, it will be good to take some time off and vacation. One can go to holiday with family members. One of the best vacationing destinations for a Christian is Israel. A Christian centric holiday in the Middle East will offer full value for money. It will be a physical experience as well as a spiritual one.
