Biblical Sites I have visited

Here are some of the Biblical sites I have been privileged to visit. Starting with The Holy Lands then places Paul visited and other important places. I would encourage you to visit some of these places as it has added a new dimension and helped my understanding as I read scriptures. 

En Gedi

 

   Around 1000 BC, En Gedi served as one of the main places

         of refuge for David as he fled from Saul. David

             “dwelt in strongholds at En Gedi” (1 Sam 23:29).

Calvary

Venerated place of Calvary inside the Church of The Holy Scepcular.
Inside the church is a rocky outcropping which is the traditional place
where the cross was placed. Archaeological excavations have demonstrated
that this site was outside the city but close to one of its gates and thus
would have been a good location for a crucifixion.
