    Visiting St. Peter's Church in Jaffa was a spiritual pilgrimage to one of the oldest Christian sites

    I was struck by the sense of reverence and devotion that permeated the air. The church's stunning architecture and rich history spoke to the enduring faith of generations past. Standing in the same sanctuary where Saint Peter himself is said to have stayed was a humbling and deeply moving experience
