A UNIQUE
Sacred Journey
In the land of the Holy One
Experience the Holy Land
Where Scripture Comes to Life
If you are planning your first visit to the Holy Land or returning for a deeper spiritual journey, you have come to the right place. At Qumri Pilgrimages, we aim to provide a sense of history and a connection with the world Jesus inhabited. We will share with you our deep understanding of the historical, cultural, social, and political riches of the Holy Land. Pilgrims have traveled from around the world to experience the historical teachings and understanding of current events.
Qumri Pilgrimages specialize in pilgrimages that incorporate the liturgy and traditions of the Episcopal Church into the daily itinerary. As lifelong Jerusalem residents, our Pilgrimage will not only
bring to life the iconic structures and places, but take you to unique sites, local restaurants, and family owned shops.
Come join us as we lead you in exploring a world that exists at the crossroads of the world’s three great Abrahamic faiths: Christianity, Islam and Judaism.​
​
You will find photos and videos from our recent pilgrimages, information on accommodation, important tips for safe and easier travel, a list of relevant reading material, a sample itinerary, and also information about our experiences as "on the ground guides."

More Than a Tour
A Living Stones Pilgrimage
Pilgrimages are very different from tours. As we walk through the land where Jesus was born, lived, died and was resurrected, we will not only "visit" these sites but we will "live" them. Our pilgrimages are often referred to as "Living Stones" pilgrimages. You will learn more about this term under the title "Living Stones." In addition, be certain to read the reactions and comments from a few of our pilgrims under the title "Pilgrims Talk."

Many bishops, priests and lay persons have traveled with us throughout the Holy Land. We would like to let them describe their experiences and impressions of our pilgrimages in their own words. We sincerely hope you will enjoy exploring this website.
If you have additional questions or if you would like to schedule a group for a pilgrimage, please feel free to contact us.
