Pilgrims from Palm Sunday join in Jesus Christ’s journey, tracing his path as he entered Jerusalem as the Messiah. This tour begins at the Chapel of the Ascension on the Mount of Olives, leading visitors through Kidron Valley to explore awe-inspiring sacred sites within the Old City.

Jesus Christ walked through the streets of Jerusalem during His first entry as the Messiah, receiving enthusiastic greetings from the throngs of Jews who waved palm branches, representing victory. This event marked the beginning of Palm Sunday, occurring immediately prior to the Jewish Passover, which is recorded in all four Gospels.

Leading up to this sacred day, visitors can enjoy breathtaking vistas of the Judean Desert and the Jordan Valley. A significant point of interest is the Chapel of Bethpage, situated on the location where Jesus instructed His disciples to seek out a donkey to ride into the city.

The pilgrimage continues with a visit to the Chapel of the Ascension atop the Mount of Olives, commencing at the start of the journey towards the Domini Flevit Church. Following this, travelers traverse the Kidron Valley, passing through the Garden of Gethsemane en route to the Old City.

To enter the Old City, pilgrims proceed through the Lions' Gate. At this juncture, they may explore the Church of St. Anna and the Pool of Bethesda, locations mentioned in the Gospel of John, providing insights into the spiritual essence of the ancient city of Jerusalem.
