Bethlehem pilgrimage route

[tyrrek]

Hi All!

I see Bethlehem has gained UNESCO World Heritage Site status for the Church of the Nativity and the pilgrimage route. I'm struggling to find what that pilgrimage route is, though. Has anyone got any details?

I know it's not far from Bethlehem to Jerusalem (10kms or so?), so I can imagine a wonderful 'one day' pilgrimage from the Church into Israel past the Mount of Olives and Via Dolorosa to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. The difficulty I imagine would be crossing through the wall from the West Bank.

Has anyone done such a walk and what are the complications?

Buen Camino!

There is a trail called the Nativity Trail but it is not marked yet. You can read a blog about it on the JESUS TRAIL website:

One of our forum members walked the Jesus Trail a few months ago.

They've been there for a long time, and will be there for a long time into the future, Kiwis!
