An article in the Philippine Star today mentions that Bethlehem, the birthplace of Jesus, is preparing for tens of thousands of pilgrims this season. But interestingly, Jesus was not called Jesus of Bethlehem but Jesus of Nazareth. His growing up years in this region, which currently needs social and economic improvements, is part of Nazareth history. I wonder how it would be like to be in the places our Savior went to, places like Bethlehem, Nazareth, Jerusalem, and the sea of Galilee. It is really a dream of ours to go to Israel. 🙂
A Long Awaited Pilgrimage
