Bumpy start for them as 11 of them had their original flights cancelled due to the storm that slammed the East Coast Friday. Eight got here in time to enjoy Tel Aviv area Saturday and\/or Sunday and then all 8 headed to Bethlehem today with a long stop at Yad Vashem in Jerusalem. The photos below are from our visit late this afternoon to Dr.Mazin Qumsiyeh and the Natural History Center he and his wife are developing together with Bethlehem University. It was an inspiring, illuminating way to start. Tomorrow our other eight should be here, so let the full adventure begin! \u00a0Here are some teaser photos to get you to want more:<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1550\" src=\"http:\/\/www.livingstonespilgrimage.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/IMG_3050-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.livingstonespilgrimage.org\/lsp-archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/IMG_3050-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.livingstonespilgrimage.org\/lsp-archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/IMG_3050-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.livingstonespilgrimage.org\/lsp-archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/IMG_3050-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.livingstonespilgrimage.org\/lsp-archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/IMG_3050-1024x1024.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1551\" src=\"http:\/\/www.livingstonespilgrimage.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/IMG_3054-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.livingstonespilgrimage.org\/lsp-archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/IMG_3054-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.livingstonespilgrimage.org\/lsp-archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/IMG_3054-768x575.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.livingstonespilgrimage.org\/lsp-archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/IMG_3054-1024x766.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1552\" src=\"http:\/\/www.livingstonespilgrimage.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/IMG_3080-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.livingstonespilgrimage.org\/lsp-archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/IMG_3080-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.livingstonespilgrimage.org\/lsp-archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/IMG_3080-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.livingstonespilgrimage.org\/lsp-archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/IMG_3080-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi to Friends of the Spirit of St. Stephens group beginning the core part of their pilgrimage today!
