The Holy Land
HEN David Lloyd James and Harold Rogers were invited by the BBC to visit the Holy Land they joined a party of about 40 people who began their journey at Haifa. They drove north to Acre, east to the hill town of Safad, and then turned south towards the Sea of Galilee. After two days in Nazareth and the surrounding areas they made their way through the Valley of Esdraelon and the Pass of Megiddo to the ancient port and fortress town of Caesarea, and on to the busy modern city of Tel Aviv. Next day they turned
inland and set out for the goal of all travellers to the Holy Land, Jerusalem. "We joined," said David Lloyd James, "that endless file of pilgrims who have followed the footsteps of Our Lord along the Via Dolorosa on the first Good Friday, who have affirmed their faith at the Church of the\Holy Sepulchre, on the Mount of Olives, at Bethany and in all those places which are hallowed by their links with the life of Christ." Later the party took the plunging road from Jerusalém to Jericho and the Dead Sea and visited Bethlehem. At Bethlehem, Nazareth, Jerusalem and by the Sea of Galilee the two BBC men made recordings which will be heard in their impressions of this Lenten pilgrimage to be broadcast from YA stations and 4YZ at 9.30 a.m. on Easter Day.
