St. Mungo''s Guild welcomed our
friend and regular visitor to St. Mungo’s, the Rev Andrew Don, to
presenthis trip to the Holy Land, which he joined with other members
from Midlothian churches at the end of 2018.
His story started
with his first arrival in Jerusalem, staying at a hotel on the mount of
Olives, commanding an outstanding view of the city.
We heard of early morning starts to take the party as far Capharnaum on the
Sea of Galilea, some 120 miles north, and 3 hours in the bus from Jerusalem
and
east to the Dead Sea, a mere hour or so away. Here Andrew attempted to
sink in the waters, unsuccessfully due to the level of salt in the
water.
Andrew’s slides illustrated the many places he
travelled to that Jesus had visited, making him feel he truly was
walking in the footsteps of our Lord.
