Walking Towards God In �e

Footsteps of St. PaulLED BY FATHER JOSEPH MAROOR

(St. Paul the Apostle – Lighthouse Point)October 30 – November 13, 2018

CATHOLIC FOCUSED TOURS Crete, Galilee, Bethlehem, Jerusalem, Athens (Corinth)

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 01 - (Crete)

Arrive at Chania Port in Crete on board Celebrity Constellation at 12:00noon. You will be met by Ya'lla Tours USA Inc. Greek’s representative and your private tour guide at 12:30pm to start your day tour of Crete.

We depart from Chania to the picturesque city of Rethymno. �is region as a whole is rich with ancient history, most notably through the Minoan civilization centered at Kydonia east of Rethymno. Rethymno itself began a period of growth when the Venetian conquerors of the island decided to put an intermediate commercial station between Heraklion and Chania, acquiring its own bishop and nobility in the process.

Today's old town (palia poli) is almost entirely built by the Venetians. It is one of the best preserved old towns in Crete.

Our next stop is the Monastery of Arkadi. �e Arkadi Monastery (in Greek: / Moní Arkadhíou) is an Eastern Orthodox monastery, situated on fertile plateau 14 miles to the southeast of Rethymnon on the island of Crete (in Greece). �e current Catholic Church dates back to the 16th century and is marked by the in�uence of the Renaissance. �is in�uence is visible in the architecture, which mixes both Roman and baroque elements. As early as the 16th century, the monastery was a place for science and art and had a school and a rich library. Situated on a plateau, and surrounded by a thick and high wall, the monastery is also built like a fortress.

�e monastery played an active role in the Cretan resistance of Ottoman rule during the Cretan revolt in 1866. 943 Greeks, mostly women and children, sought refuge in the monas-tery. A�er three days of battle and under orders from the hegemon (abbot) of the monastery, the Cretans blew up barrels of gunpowder, choosing to sacri�ce themselves rather than surrender.

Return to the ship by 6:00pm for a sailing at 7:00pm.

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 03 - (Haifa // Galilee) (L) Upon arrival in Haifa on board Celebrity Constellation at 7:00am, you will be met by Ya'lla Tours USA Israel’s representative and your private tour guide at 7:30am start your day tour of the Galilee. Drive to Nazareth, home to the largest Arab population in Israel. Visit the Church of the Annunciation and St. Joseph’s Grotto. Drive to the Sea of Galilee and take a private boat ride on the Sea of Galilee. Enjoy a special St. Peter’s Fish lunch by the Sea of Galilee. Drive to the Mount of the Beatitudes, site of the Sermon on the Mount and the Miracle of the Multiplication (Matthew: 05). Continue to Peter’s Home in Capernaum which reveals the domestic life of a New Testament �sherman. �e contemporary church at Tabga celebrates the Miracle of the Multiplication. Note the mosaic �oor from a Byzantine-era church, and the section in front of the ancient altar depicting two �sh and a basket �lled with loaves of bread. We’ll end the day at the River Jordan. �en return to the port in Haifa and to be there by 7:30pm for a sailing at 8:00pm MASS: NAZARETH, ST. JOSEPH’S GROTTO

SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 04 - (Ashdod // Bethlehem & Jerusalem) (L)

Upon arrival in Ashdod on board the Celebrity Constellation at 7:00am, you will be met by Ya'lla Tours USA Israel’s representative and your private tour guide at 7:30am start your day tour of Jerusalem.

Drive to Bethlehem, birthplace of Jesus, to visit the Church of the Nativity, the oldest church in the holy land still in use. Construction began in 326AD, with the aid of local tradition which told that Jesus was born in a cave at the edge of the village. �e architects were able to construct the shape of the cave according to architectural and devotional requirements of the time.

Enjoy a typical Arabic lunch in Bethlehem.

Travel on to Mt. of Olives for a panoramic view of Jerusalem.

Walk down the Mt. of Olives and see the site where Jesus predicted the future destruction of Jerusalem, the Church of Dominus Flevit (�e Lord Wept). During construction in 1955, archaeologists uncovered artifacts dating back to the Canaanite period, as well as tombs from both the Second Temple and Byzantine eras. Also unearthed were the remains of a lovely Byzantine shrine with an elaborate mosaic �oor that was incorporated into the church.

�e Garden of Gethsemane lies at the foot of the Mount of Olives. Today it appears much as it did 20 centuries ago and contains some of the world’s oldest olive trees. �e garden was a spot favored by Jesus for meditation and prayer. Originally built in 379, the Church at Gethsemane was rebuilt in 1919 – 1924. Long considered one of the most beautiful in Jerusalem, it was called the Church of All Nations because 16 nations contributed to its construction.

By 6:30pm, you will be transferred to the port in Ashdod for arrival at 8:00pm.

MASS: BETHLEHEM, ST. KATHERINE CHURCH

MONDAY, NOVEMBER 05 - (Ashdod // Jerusalem) (L)

You will be met at the ship to depart Ashdod at 7:30am to Jerusalem.

Visit Caiaphas Palace (Church of Peter Galicantu) and see the cistern where Jesus was held before he was taken to Pilate and the Roman Period steps he walked from the Kidron Valley.

Enter the Christian Quarter of the Old City through St. Stephen’s Gate.

See the Pool of Bethesda, where Jesus healed the blind man and St. Anne Church, with extraordinary acoustics.

Visit the Monastery of the Sisters of Zion and see the Floor of the Lithostrothos of the Ecce Ommo Arch (Behold the Man) and the Church of the Flagellation.

Walk the Way of the Cross, the Via Dolorosa, to the Church of the Holy Sepulcher. In 325, Constantine’s mother Helen �rst requisitioned the area for a church. �is 4th- century church was largely destroyed by the Turks in 1009 and partially restored in 1048. �e impressive stone decorations adorning the facade date from crusader times. In its current form, the church preserves the crusader structure and is shared by two major Christian denominations, the Greek Orthodox and the Roman Catholic. �e church enshrines a tomb that some traditions hold to be the place of Jesus’ burial and resurrection.

Have lunch in the Old City at Friends Restaurant.

�en walk to the Western Wall, the holiest site for Judaism.

By 3:30pm, you will be transferred to the port in Ashdod for arrival at 5:00pm.

MASS: CHURCH OF PETER GALICANTU

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 08 – (Athens // Corinth) (L)

Arrive at Chania Port in Crete on board Celebrity Constellation at 6:00am. You will be met by Ya'lla Tours USA Inc. Greek’s representative and your private tour guide at 7:30am to start your day tour of Corinth.

Drive the historic coast road to Corinth. Along the way stop by the Corinth Canal which for the last 120 years has turned the Peloponnese Peninsula into an island.

A�er Athens, Paul went to Corinth. At the foothills of the Corinthian Acropolis, he lived, worked as a tent maker and taught the word of God for 18 months.

Arrive at ancient Corinth, where Paul ministered for nearly two years and wrote the earliest New Testament writings, �e Letters to �essalonians. �e columns of Apollo Temple dominate the Agora. See the tribunal before which Paul was dragged, but where Gallio refused to pass judgment on him. �e Fountain of Peirene, the Agora where Paul's trial by Gallio took place and where the famous Bema stands. A�erward we will pass by the ancient port of Kechries, where Paul departed from for Ephesus and later we’ll marvel at the engineer-ing feat of the Corinth

Canal, designed in Paul’s time, but �nally realized in the late 1890s. Have lunch in route.

By 3:00pm, you will be transferred back to the port in Piraeus along the new scenic road with magni�cent views of the Saronic Gulf and the ancient port of Conchreas from which Paul sailed to Ephesus for arrival at 5:00pm and sailing at 6:00pm.
