Jerusalem is a holy city for Christians around the world, and the Church of the Holy Sepulcher is a key holy site in the Christian world. The temple is divided at once by six currents within Christianity. In addition to the chapel of the Holy Sepulcher, we will visit the temple of Golgotha, the Church of the Resurrection, as well as monasteries and sanctuaries of several religious communities.
In Bethlehem, visit the Church of the Nativity, which is one of the oldest continuously operating churches in the world. It is built over a cave where, according to legend, Jesus of Nazareth was born, so for Christians around the world, the Church of the Nativity is one of the greatest shrines.
The most important shrines of the temple are the miraculous icon of the Joyful Mother of God, the Bethlehem 14-pointed star, the "manger" in which the baby Jesus lay, and the "altar of the Magi".

The Church of the Nativity of Christ was erected in Bethlehem above the cave where Jesus was born.

Jordan is a river in the Middle East, considered being one of the most sacred rivers in the world.
Jordan originates at the foot of the Mount Hermon, flows through the Sea of Galilee, and runs into the Dead Sea. In its downstream it represents a natural border between Israel and Jordan.
Jordan is frequently mentioned in the Bible. According to the Old Testament, the Jewish people with Joshua crossed Jordan on dry land while its waters parted by miracle, thus completing the forty-year-long wandering of the Jews in the desert. Later, according to the Gospel, Jesus Christ was baptized in the waters of this river.
Jerusalem is not only the capital of modern Israel, but also a city which, for many centuries, has been the "center of the world" for Jews, Christians and Muslims.
No other city on the planet can compare with it, because only Jerusalem has such a rich spiritual and historical attraction.
