What a fabulous set of pilgrims and guides and hosts. Steve and Janet Ray took our welfare so personally to make sure we each had the best possible experience. Teresa Tomeo was a remarkable addition to the tour and I’m sure we are all grateful to her and to her daily work on Ave Maria Radio and in the world community. Personally, Sabina and I, have a new Italian sister. I suggest Teresa add a weekly segment to her radio show……how about “Liz Lev Live” to share the knowledge of a catholic art expert who was indeed spectacular in sharing her seemingly unlimited knowledge with us. And Father Courtney, what a blessing to have him with us to shepherd the flock, teach us how to live and say the daily mass.—
Relative Calm in Holy Land Opens Door to Pilgrims
ROME, JULY 26, 2010 (Zenit.org).- In the first six months of 2010, some 1.6 million tourists have visited the Holy Land, a marked increase compared to 2009, and one that Franciscan Father Pierbattista Pizzaballa attributes to a variety of factors.
The number of tourists is up some 39% from last year, and the Custos of the Holy Land told Vatican Radio that this can be attributed first to “a great activity on the part of episcopal conferences, dioceses and parish priests.”
The pilgrims come primarily from the United States, Russia, France, Great Britain, Germany and Italy.
