The preparations become a blessing and at same time a spiritual journey. Day by day each pilgrim will pray to each other as for spiritual preparation. Pilgrims started to exercise as to prepare oneself physically.
It is awesome and amazing that this Holy Land is always a place of perpetual tension between Jew and Arab.
A place of manifestation of God's blessing to His people - in fertile farmlands contrast to a desert. This is the land , " flowing with milk and honey".
What made the land holy? According to biblical scholar and archaeologist Jerome Murphy-O’Connor, this occurred for the Jews when the Ark of the Covenant was carried into the Holy of Holies in the Temple at Jerusalem and “the glory of the Lord filled the house of the Lord” (1 Kings 8:10).
