Holy Cosplay Batman

When I visited Israel with a group from our school, I was struck by how someone seemed to have identified the precise location of every event that was ever recorded in the bible. I knew they were authentic, because they were selling trinkets that verified that this was, indeed, the place.

While I didn't come back with any pieces of the cross or bones left over from the saints, at times it seemed to be veering towards ludicrous.

Now, a tour company has let me know that we can add a few experiences on to a trip to Israel to make more of a Holy Land "Experience". I am not sure if they sound like fun, or just plain goofy.

Here are a few:

ANGEL WATCHING WITH THE SHEHERDS IN BETHLEHEM

The angels appeared to the shepherds on the first night proclaim the birth of our Savior. On shepherd’s field we will go and sit out with the sheep. We will dress the pilgrims in Shepherd’s dress, have sheep mingling with them and create a dinner that the shepherds would have eaten that night. On location, we will sing carols, and have the night sky that will put us close to that night. We will have a certificate for each pilgrim to take home as well.

JESUS INVITES US FOR BREAKFAST ON THE SEA OF GALILEE IN TIBERIAS

We will start early and have a cruise on the Sea of Galilee. The cruise will go out and have music, stop in the center of the sea where it is quiet and explain, all that Jesus did on the lake. We will have a demonstration of how they fished and hope we catch 153 fish. We disembark the ship and go to the beach where we will have a fire set, with one of the disciples cooking the fish. The group will be seated and we will make a covenant with the Lord, to “Feed My Sheep”. The breakfast is served, with a piece of Pita, and a piece of St. Peter’s fish. The pilgrim will be given the bread and then the fish.

THE EXODUS ROUTE IN EGYPT

Many of our Tour Hosts, have been to St. Katherines multiple times. As an alternative, we have created a 3 hour four wheel drive tour that takes us back into the exodus.Here is where the Israelites migrated for 40 years waiting to enter the promise land. We will stop at an oasis where we have a barbeque in the middle of the desert, awaiting us.

Only $25 a head. and you get to dress up for a couple of them. I am thinking of a few other things they can do. I will let you know.
