Day 3 Of Pilgrimage: President Jonathan Lights Symbolic Candle At Mt. Camel, Vis by jking001(m): 8:20am On Oct 29, 2013 |
President Goodluck Jonathan on Saturday in Nazareth performed the symbolic candle lighting at the Church of Mount Camel, the place where the Biblical contest between Prophet Elijah and the 400 false prophets of Baal took place. The President also visited River Jordan, the place where Jesus Christ was Baptised by John the Baptist, where he prayed before dipping his hands seven times into the river. The News Agency Of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the President and members of the Presidential Pilgrimage Team also visited the Church of Annunciation, otherwise known as Basillica of the Annunciation, the place where Angel Gabriel announced to Virgin Mary of her conception. Other places visited by the team were the Holy Family Church in Nazareth, the Cana Wedding Church in Galilee and also took a boat drive along the shores of the Sea of Galilee and visited the Mount of Beatitudes. The president had on the 2nd Day of the pilgrimage, visited the Jerusalem Old City, Pool of Bethesda, Wailing Wall, where he prayed privately, the Tomb of Jesus Christ where he also prayed after leading the Fourteen Stations of the Cross. Jonathan is expected to attend an inter- denominational prayer-fast on Sunday tagged ``A day with Jesus for Nigeria in Israel'', where he will meet with pilgrims from Nigeria. www.thisdaylive.com/articles/day-3-of-pilgrimage-president-jonathan-lights-symbolic-candle-at-mt-camel-visits-river-jordan/162787/ |

The visit of Mr president to the Holy land will definitely not be in vain. Let's wait and see what God will do with them after the visit. In the sight of men his visit ot Israel looks foolish but in God's sight it is a different thing. Afterall, God's ways are different from the way of men. |

I believe you. I know that his prayers and private time with God will yield positive result. Dont you realise that since GEJ went to Isreal, the so called G7 governors are now having problems and i think more will happen. |
