Yesterday we again began our tour at the Old City of Jerusalem. We started at St. Stephen’s Gate and then on to the Pool of Bethesda, St. Anne’s Church, and the Church of the Holy Sepulcher. We then made the short trip to the little town of Bethlehem. More tomorrow!

This church had incredible acoustics. We sang Aleluia & the Doxology.

A trip to Bethlehem would not be complete without a stop at Stars & Bucks!
