Famed travel magazine National Geographic has highlighted Jerusalem as a top spring destination this year. Author Caitlin Etherton writes, “Celebrating Easter with thousands of pilgrims in Jerusalem is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Descend the Mount of Olives in a Palm Sunday procession at the start of Holy Week. Retrace Jesus’ path down the Via Dolorosa on Good Friday, and don’t miss out on the annual miracle of Holy Fire at the Church of the Holy Sepulcher on Holy Saturday. If the crowds get too overwhelming, take a gondola ride to King Herod’s 2,000-year-old Masada fortress or set off on a quiet morning boat ride across the Sea of Galilee. Spring temperatures in Israel can fluctuate dramatically and many Holy Week activities take place outside; remember to pack water and wear layers.”
