Tour "NEW YEAR in Ein Karem"

Tour Duration, days: 1

We will walk through the decorated streets and you will find yourself in Europe. But it is here that Christianity was conceived. I'll show you where lived Zachariah and Elizabeth and the birthplace of John the Baptist. The house where the Virgin Mary was staying until Saint Joseph came to take her. And you'll learn about the Roman roots of Christmas and see the Christians preparing for the celebration of Jerusalem.

And you'll learn about the roots of the Christmas. During the tour we will learn where in Jerusalem are figures of Santa Claus, Christmas trees, where you can buy a chocolate cone. We will understand why in Catholic churches before Christmas they build caves, and what do these caves have to do with a bull, a donkey, and what the Star of Bethlehem is. We walk through the alleys of Ein Karem which will be festively painted, visit the temple and watch the preparations for New Year.
