Holy Land Advice

[Walter D.]

Hello everyone,
I hope this is the right place to post this. I've always wanted to visit The Holy Land. Since I don't know when I will be able to make the trip myself, I'd really like to have something always with me that has been there - this will make me feel closer to Jesus and feel His journey and His life. I've heard of a few options, such as holy water from the Jordan river, olive oil and wooden crosses made of olive tree. Does anyone have any recommendation? Any help would be great!

Hi, Walter. Those items you mentioned are common--probably the most common and easily obtained of all the possibilities. That being the case, I would suggest getting one or both and seeing if they produce the feeling you are after. If they do not, you will have to consider something else, but this is the logical place to start.

I pray we will both make it there one day! Until that day, we will have to do with Holy Land souvenirs...

Thank you, Albion. Do you know of a specific place to get these artifacts? A recommendation would really help. Have you yourself been to The Holy Land? Thanks again.

I have not been there. I was just commenting on the items.

These are often bought as souvenirs by people while travelling in the Holy Land.
However, I think there is a good chance of picking up one in any Christian Book Store, particularly a cross of olive wood imported from Israel.

Thank you, Kit Sigmon - but seems to be mainly Jewish artifacts. I found this - http://www.holymementos.com/
What do you think?
