Holy Land Pilgrimage - Day Six
After celebrating Sunday Mass with the community in one of the local villages and having coffee with the parishioners and the opportunity to meet with the priest and families of the parish, our pilgrims returned to Jerusalem to visit Mount Zion, seeing the Upper Room, the tomb of King David and the site of the Dormition of Our Lady. The afternoon concluded with a walk through the Jewish Quarter to visit the Western Wall.
