Walking in the Footsteps of Jesus

Jesus Trail – Walking in the Footsteps of Jesus
A 65 km (40 miles) marked trail, from Nazareth to Capernaum

Jesus spent the bulk of his life and ministry in the Galilee region, walking between the picturesque towns and villages mentioned in the Gospels.

As you follow The Jesus Trail, you will encounter a mosaic of sights and cultures (Christian Arabs, Muslim Arabs, Druze and Jews), all living together in one authentic, ethnic Galilean paradise.

Enjoy a 3-4 day leisurely adventure hike in the rugged and beautiful Galilee landscape. A Holy Land experience that will leave you with blessed memories for years to come.

Let your boots be your transport and the Bible be your guide…

In advance of Pope Benedict XVI's visit to Israel in May, the Ministry of Tourism started placing signage along the 65 km "Jesus Trail." This enchanting route winds its way from Nazareth through Sepphoris, Cana, the Arbel Cliffs, Tabgha, Capernaum, the Mount of Beatitudes, Tiberias, the Sea of Galilee and the Jordan River.

The Jesus Trail offers Christian tourists and pilgrims the opportunity to tread the very earth that Jesus and his disciples walked on, breathe in the natural and spiritual beauty of where it all happened and connect spiritually to the calm and serenity of the Galilean landscape.

With no rushing from place to place or being herded onto buses, you can leisurely hike the Jesus Trail over three or four days. You have an engaging variety of overnight options – from hotels to overnight camping, and there are many places to buy water and food along the way. Public buses are available at most starting and end-points.

Among the many highlights along the trail:
- Explore the markets and alleys of Nazareth, Jesus' childhood home.
- Pray in the Basilica of the Annunciation and discover how the Synagogue Church got its name.
- Experience Cana, site of the wedding feast where Jesus performed his first miracle, turning water into wine.
- Visit Tabgha, with its breathtaking view of the Sea of Galilee, the traditional site of the multiplication of loaves and fishes.
- Capture the calm of Capernaum, Jesus' home base during his ministry in the Galilee.
- Climb the Mount of the Beatitudes where Jesus delivered the Sermon on the Mount.
- Bathe at the Yardenit baptismal site along the Jordan River, where John baptized Jesus.
- And lots more along the way… Byzantine mosaics, a Crusader battle, 1st Century cliff dwellers, tranquil gardens, a 13th Century Muslim fortress, natural hot springs…

Depending on the time of year, you can also see bright red anemones and yellow daisies – "lilies of the field," (Lk. 12:27), wild oats, thistles and a beautifully cultivated field, recalling the "Parable of the Sower," (Matt. 13:3-9), and enjoy the view from Sepphoris, the "city on a hill" (Matt. 5:14).

Free Walks
Day-long walks leave Monday-Saturday at 08:00 from the Church of the Annunciation. The hike includes a visit to Zippori National Park with its Roman ruins, Crusader fortress and Byzantine mosaics, Cana, the fourth century Arbel Synagogue, the site of the Sermon on the Mount and Capernaum, the former fishing village that was once the center of Jesus' life and ministry.

Hiking $78.07 Hiking is an outdoor activity which consists of walking in natural environments, often on hiking trails. It is such a popular activity that there are numerous hiking organizations worldwide. The health benefits of different types of hiking have been confirmed in studies. The word hiking is understood in all Englishspeaking countries, but there are differences in usage. In the United States and United Kingdom, hiking refers to crosscountry walking of a longer duration than a simple walk and usually over terrain where hiking boots are required. A day hike refers to a hike that can be completed in a single day, often applied to mountain hikes to a lake or summit, but not requiring an overnight camp, in which case the term backpacking is used. Bushwhacking specifically refers to difficult walking through dense forest, undergrowth, or bushes, where forward progress requires pushing vegetation aside.

54 Sassafras Whistle Adult Hiking and Walking Stick $33.95 A shrill whistle is carved into the top of the Sassafras Whistle Stick.Profile: We are one of the largest suppliers of hiking and walking sticks in the U.S., and we have been in the stick business since 1985. Best selling of all of our sticks is the rustic Hickory hiking stick, famous for its strength and durability. Whistle Creek makes sticks "like grandpa would have made." These are products that you would be proud to display in your home, yet not hesitate to use on the trail every day. We have avoided going to aluminum poles (lightning rods) or other mass-manufactured techniques. We have stayed with time-tested traditional methods that have been around since before Moses. Each Whistle Creek product is hand crafted from wood in the U.S. by skilled craftsmen who value the importance of a sturdy "friend" on the trail. Whether you use your stick for arduous mountain treks, strolls in the forest or just for "wandering 'round the block," you will soon benefit from the comfort and security that a good walking stick can bring to your outings. Hopefully you will decide to collect all of our sticks for you and your family to use for generations. What Size Stick is for Me? Hiking sticks should be 6" to 9" above your elbow to help you get down a hill (you need to reach). Walking sticks and canes are different. First, place your arm to your side with the elbow slightly bent. The top of the handle on the stick should be at the break in your wrist. All of Whistle Creek's sticks can be shortened by removing the rubber tip, sawing off what is not needed and then replacing the tip. Orthopedic patients should consult their physician.

Walking Stick $58.94 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles A walking stick is a device used by many people to facilitate balancing whilst walking.Walking sticks come in many shapes and sizes, and can be sought by collectors. Some kinds of walking stick may be used by people with disabilities as a crutch. The walking stick has also historically been known to be used as a defensive or offensive weapon, and may conceal a knife or sword as in a swordstick.Walking sticks, also under the monikers of trekking poles, pilgrims staffs, hiking poles or hiking sticks, are used by hikers for a wide variety of purposes: to clear spiderwebs, part thick bushes or grass obscuring the trail; as a support when going uphill or a brake when going downhill; as a balance point when crossing streams, swamps or other rough terrain; to feel for obstacles in the path; to test mud and puddles for depth; and as a defence against wild animals. A walking stick can be improvised from nearby felled wood. More ornate sticks are made for avid hikers, and are often adorned with small trinkets or medallions depicting conquered territory.
