- Ein Kerem is the birthplace of John the Baptist and where he spent his childhood. We will visit the sites commemorating John's events, such as the Church of Visitation, Mary's Spring, John Beharim Church and the Convent of the Sisters of Zion. Over the centuries, the rulers destroyed and rebuilt many of these locations- we can see the different sections over time. We will also see where Mary met her cousin Elizabeth and praised the Lord in a Song of Mary or the Magnificat. We will see the places out of which the Magnificat and Benedictus came to be.
