National Catholic Register, Thomas L. McDonald; In October the Jordan Tourism Board took a group of Christian journalists and bloggers on a pilgrimage to the holy and historical sites of their country. It was a life changing experience for everyone involved, and one of the hardest parts was simply processing it all emotionally, intellectually, and, most of all, spiritually. This is holy ground where the events of our sacred history took place. I plan to explore some of the striking locations in more detail, but for now I just want to give you a taste of what the pilgrim to Jordan will see and experience, along with the scripture that mentions them and the people who walked these roads. Full article is here.
