To have a truly authentic experience, visit the Upper Room located at Mount Zion and while you are there make sure you read about the resurrection in the Gospels. Jesus' appearance to the Apostles occurred in the Upper Room.

You're about to embark on the trip of a lifetime-a Holy Land pilgrimage that will coincide with the celebration of Easter, a unique and truly exciting experience for any Christian. This year, record numbers of tourists are expected to make a pilgrimage to Jerusalem, the holy city where the story of Easter takes place. As is customary, a host of very special activities are planned in celebration of the holiday. Father Juan Maria Solana, L.C, Charge of the Holy See, gave Travelujah his top 5 "must do" experiences for Christians celebrating Easter in the Holy Land (plus a couple of our own special favorites).

1. Go to an Easter Celebration in Jerusalem. There are numerous services in churches all over Jerusalem as well as in other major cities throughout the land. Make sure you visit at least one service during Holy Week.

2. Participate in the Good Friday Processions. The Good Friday procession is led by Franciscan Friars and begins at 11:30 am in the Old City. The walk follows the path that Jesus took on the day of His death, known as the Way of the Cross on the Via Dolorosa. "Being a part of this very special procession," says Father Juan, "is a unique experience for any Christian." (Father Juan Solana, photo courtesy Travelujah)

3. Celebrate a Passover Seder. "Every Christian should have a Passover Seder with a Jewish family because our Eucharest comes from Passover," says Father Juan. Moreover, a Passover Seder is a true family celebration… he explains, "Catholics celebrate Easter by attending Mass, but it is centered around priests, not the family."

4. Visit the Holy Sepulchre on Easter Sunday. This shrine is where the last five Stations of the Cross are located. No Easter in the Holy Land is complete without exploring this historic shrine.

5. Recite the Gospels in the Upper Room. To have a truly authentic experience, visit the Upper Room located at Mount Zion and while you are there make sure you read about the resurrection in the Gospels. Jesus's appearance to the Apostles occurred in the Upper Room. (photo courtesy www.allaboutjerusalem.com)

Travelujah Add Ons - (We can't help but add a couple of our favorite experiences as well to this list)

1. Easter at the Garden Tomb - Not only is Easter Sunday a special day at the Garden Tomb but on April 14 the Garden Tomb holds its annual Arabic Easter event which brings together 500 - 600 Arab and Israeli Believers. Seeing both Israelis and Palestinians together in prayer makes this an even more spiritually significant event.

2. Holy Fire Ceremony - On April 12th Orthodox Christians gather early in the morning at the Church of the Sepulchre for the annual Holy Fire Ceremony.
