Святая Земля. Путешествие по библейским местам

Jerusalem and the places along which the earthly path of Jesus Christ lay, of course, belong to the unique shrines of the Christian world, the veneration of which knows no territorial boundaries and national and language barriers. The well-known London journalist Henry W. Morton arrived in the Holy Land as a tourist in the middle of the 20th century, but the route of his trip through Palestine and neighboring territories was significantly different from that which is available and widespread today, so he was able to see and describe much of what he will circumstances are missed by modern tourists. Morton's testimonies are all the more valuable because today many of the places he visited are either generally closed to tourists, or visiting them is fraught with significant difficulties. He was able to freely roam Jerusalem and participate in Coptic religious ceremonies, cross the Libyan desert and admire the Lebanese cedars with his own eyes, reach the legendary ghost town of Petra, lost in the mountains, and descend into the dungeons of St. Peter's Cathedral. Henry Morton's Bible-in-hand journey through biblical places began in Jerusalem and ended in Rome. Thus, Morton, as it were, repeated the path along which Christianity came to Europe - and this path he invites readers to follow. Have a nice trip to the biblical places!
