Location: Jerusalem, Israel
A record number of Christian pilgrims have traveled to Jerusalem this year to walk in the footsteps of Jesus Christ. The Holy City has witnessed an unprecedented surge in visitors, with believers gathering at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, the Garden of Gethsemane, and the Western Wall for prayer and reflection.
Many pilgrims describe the experience as life-changing, as they retrace the biblical events of Christ’s crucifixion, burial, and resurrection. The pilgrimage has also provided an opportunity for believers from different cultures to worship together, strengthening their global faith community.
“This is more than just a trip—it’s a spiritual journey,” said Maria Sanchez, a pilgrim from Mexico. “Walking where Jesus walked has deepened my faith in ways I never imagined.” Church leaders are encouraging Christians worldwide to participate in pilgrimage experiences, believing it can strengthen faith and unity among believers.
