Couples who renewed their wedding vows at Cana
We loaded up the bus and said goodbye to Galilee. Our first stop was Cana where we had Mass, and saw the ruins of a 2nd century church. We went to Mt. Carmel, the headquarters of the Carmelites and the place where Elijah had stayed. We had lunch at a cafe on Mt. Carmel. Next, we went to Caesarea Maritima, where St. Paul was held in prison for 2 years and where St. Peter baptized the first Gentiles. We saw the ruins of the Roman Amphitheater and other sites of ancient Caesarea Maritima. Then, we went to Jaffa or Joppa. We saw the church that commemorated how St. Peter stayed in Jaffa and was instructed to go to Caesarea Maritima to preach to and baptize Gentiles. We had our final meal together in the Holy Land before going to the airport and coming back to the USA.
