    Take a tour if you have time. You’ll learn so much about the history of the holy land and explore the catacombs! The architecture is stunning & be sure to check out their seasonal nativity collection.

    It's been almost 15 years since visiting the real sites in the Holy Land. This great little place evoked those memories. Nice replicas and great photos and artwork on display.

    Make sure to visit in the spring when the roses are in full bloom. It's gorgeous and it smells so very good!
