Jerusalem: Magnet for Christian Visits (Part 7)

We continue—and conclude—a 7 part series about Jerusalem and the Christian pilgrim. In this 7th and final part, we will finalise the identity and nature of Christian visits.

First, when you contrast modern tourism with traditional pilgrimage, a Christian visitor, coming on a tourist visa, can still be a fully bona fide pilgrim. Just because there is a strong tourist element, similar to many secular tours, does not mean the journey lacks faith or inspiration. As we learned, being a pilgrim is less about activities and more about faith in the heart.
