Father Colin & Cyndy had a wonderful time in the Holy Land. We travelled with 5th Gospel Retreats. We can recommend them unreservedly.
Because of the troubled situation in Jerusalem we were unable to visit the holy sites there. We went everywhere else one would expect, as well as plenty of other wonderful places.
We had opportunity to meet local people, and people working in the Holy Land. We met a group of Chaldean Catholics who are living in a Church car park in Jordan - up to eight people in a tiny portakabin, using the Church Hall for kitchen and bathroom facilities. These people worship in Aramaic, the language of Jesus, and would have been put to death for their faith by ISIS if they had remained in their native Iraq.
