Family trip to Holyland Day 10 - Israel to Jordan bus ride ( 6 June 2023 )


In the morning before our bus ride trip to Jordan, we visited Church of Annunciations and Church of St Joseph and Old Nazareth town.
As it's early in the morning, there is only our group arriving at the church.
Church of Annunciation is the biggest basilica at Middle East area









We also visited Church of St Joseph which was located one stone away. The church was much more simple than Church of Annunciation. And we went in to the basement which was believed where Jesus and his family stayed and worked in the past 30 years of his life.






Then we went to the Israel/Jordan border and it took around 1 hour to clear the immigration. We had lunch at local food restaurant then we visited Mount Nero where Moses final resting place as he only could see the promised land but unable to enter physically.




After that we stopped by at Mosaic workshop which was Jordan's handmade art and craft of mosaic.



Family trip to Holyland Day 9 - Israel exploring Galilee ( 5 June 2023 )

We started the day with renewing marriage vow mass at Cana. This year is mama and papa's 15 years anniversary and it's such a blessing to be able to celebrate their milestone at Cana just one month before their actual wedding day.






After that we went to Jordan river for our babtism renewal.






Then we had lunch St Peter's fish around Sea of Galilee area, then visiting Tabhga church (5 loaves and 2 fishes), Mount of Beatitudes, Mensa Christi, Caphernaum.
















We ended the day by riding reconstructed ancient fisherman boat crossing Sea of Galilee.
