2010 Dates for Holyland | Accommodation in Holyland
 Holyland - The Holy Land is universally known as the first Marian Shrine. Its significance relates back to the beginning of Our Lady’s assumption and her new life as the Mother of our Saviour. The Holy Land allows us to see the Scriptures come alive and see where Jesus began and ended his life. This journey will truly enlighten our prayers and understanding of what we are praying for.
