Wednesday began in Bethlehem with a special Mass celebrated by Father Diego in the cave where Our Lord was born in, beneath the oldest church in the world.

After breakfast, the group departed from Bethlehem south down to the Judean Desert. A visit to the City of Jericho in Palestine featured the Sycamore tree and the Mount of Temptations. Headmaster, Mr. de Vicente had the opportunity to ride a camel just in front of the Mount of Temptations.

Following lunch, the group visited the site where Jesus was baptized by St. John the Bapist at the Jordan River. The day ended with a relaxing afternoon floating in the Dead Sea, the lowest and saltiest waters in the world. Next the boys headed on towards Jerusalem for check-in at the Knights Palace historic hotel.
