EVERY Christian should see Jerusalem. My Baptist turned Presbyterian (only because the town she now lives near has no Baptists) and I went on a pilgrimage to the Holy Land with Steve and Janet Ray.

Steve Ray was an evangelical Baptist minister who believed that all us Catholics were going to hell. Being a good man he didn't want them to.
Long story short: Steve and his wife converted to Catholicism and do four tours a year to the Holy Land. He has another tour coming up called: In the Footsteps of St. Paul.

Ah, Jerusalem. The Romans took down the hill of Calvary, as there were TOO many Christians going there. So, the site of the three crosses is now VERY close to the tomb of Jesus.

I laid my already-blessed rosary on Jesus' tomb and cried. My friend and I both cried.
I still cry when I think of it.

No wonder the place where David lived is called Zion...

6. And David said, Whoever is the first to strike the Jebusites shall be chief and captain; So Joab the son of Zeruiah went up first, and became the chief:
7. And David lived in the fortress; therefore they called it the city of David:

1 Sam 16

11. And Samuel said to Jesse, Are here all your children? And he said, There remains still the youngest, and, behold, he keeps the sheep; And Samuel said to Jesse, Send and fetch him; for we will not sit down till he comes here:
12. And he sent, and brought him in; And he was red haired, with beautiful eyes, and good looking; And the Lord said, Arise, anoint him; for this is he:
