Holy Land Pilgrimage – the trip of a lifetime!

A Holy Land Pilgrimage organized by the Crossroads Initiative and directed by Dr. Italy is a truly unique experience!  A tour, Catholic pilgrimage, learning experience, and vacation all wrapped into one, it proves that a spiritual journey can also be fun and fascinating at the same time!

We call our Holy Land adventure the trip that never ends, because it will  will mark a new beginning — you will never read the Bible or participate in the Eucharist in the same way ever again!

For a two minute overview of the sites you will see on this adventure, watch this stunning trailer from this series filmed in the Holy Land, Jesus, the Way, the Truth and the Life.  Your primary guide for our pilgrimage is the principal writer of this series, Marcellino D’Ambrosio (aka “Dr. Italy”). The location of each shot is identified for you here

HOLY LAND – Historic Sites from the Bible

 

  • “I went on this pilgrimage not knowing what to expect and came back very blessed. Still to this day when I hear the readings at mass I can envision the places they are talking about and see Jesus there. Life changing experience.”

    Judy Martinez, Dallas TX

  • “Dr. Italy led us on a prayerful, faith-filled journey that was also seasoned with humor and history. I feel blessed!”

    Jo Anne Kudla

  • “Dr. Italy’s historical insight, experience in the region, and cultural understanding brought the landscape and the Scriptures to life, helping me make sense of our ancient and mysterious Faith. Ten years later, I feel like I’m still receiving unexpected graces from the pilgrimage.”

    Marisa Beyer

  • “Thank you for a fantastic Holy Land trip! I felt very sad to leave!”
