Jerusalem — After years of travel restrictions, Christian pilgrimages to the Holy Land are experiencing a dramatic resurgence. Thousands of believers from around the world are flocking to sites such as the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, the Mount of Olives, and the Sea of Galilee.
“These journeys are deeply transformative,” said Father Elias Ibrahim, a local guide who has led pilgrimages for over two decades. “Walking in the footsteps of Christ brings the Bible to life in a way that changes people forever.”
Local churches and tourism officials have expanded their resources to accommodate the growing number of visitors, offering guided tours, spiritual retreats, and opportunities for community service during the pilgrimages.
