WHY?

Almost 2000 years ago, two disciples, walking between Jerusalem and Emmaus, had an encounter that changed them forever. To prepare for the celebration of the 2000th anniversary of the resurrection of Christ, JC2033 invites you to walk along this path which is so important for all Christians! 

  • This walk will be preceded by two days in Jerusalem, in the traditional places of the events of Jesus' death and resurrection
  • We want to walk with Christians from Jerusalem and meet the communities on the roads to Emmaus, visiting the various places identified with Emmaus: Motza, Abu Gosh and Nicopolis
  • This walk will be punctuated by times of sharing and prayer
  • We also hope that these days will be rich in encounters between Christians from different churches and countries 
  • Living the Easter season in Jerusalem and on the road to Emmaus is a special experience that centers us on the heart of the Christian faith. This walk will also be a spiritual renewal

From GBP 1295* Without flight

*The price may be subject to a max of 10% increase depending on the exchange rate of the Swiss franc (CHF).
