Our last day of our pilgrimage. We went to Notre Dame of Jerusalem Centre for a permanent exhibition – Who is the Man of the Shroud? Apparently, it’s about the shroud that was imprinted with a man’s body. But who was that man? The question was left to us to answer. In 1898, the cloth … Continue reading Day 10 Pilgrimage – Who Is The Man Of The Shroud?

Not only because we would go to Petra where Indiana Jones was filmed but also because one of … Continue reading Pilgrimage To Israel, Palestine And Jordan Day 3
Our pilgrimage continued so did the tight schedule. Early in the morning (it was really early), we went to the Church of Primacy of St. Peter Mensa Christi and had our mass there.
