The cordial reception given by the public to the previous editions of the Guide to the Franciscan Monastery encourages us to continue this labor of love. It is but natural that the interest awakened in the hearts of the hundreds of thousands who look for the first time on these reproductions of the Holy Shrines of Palestine should prompt the desire to acquire some remembrance of the Monastery. This new edition has, besides the above, other rea-sons for its appearance. The various changes, both within and without the Monastery, have necessitated a revision of the Guide Book to include the improvements made since the foundation of Mount St. Sepulchre more than a third of a century ago. To the devotion of countless souls in many lands who have given their mite that this Temple be erected to God's greater honor and glory, this beautiful Church stands as an eloquent and a lasting monument. So, too, its interior beauty is due to the generosity of numerous Benefactors who have donated Shrines, Altars, and ornaments to the service of God. That He may bless and keep them all, and be, their "reward exceeding great," is our humble and constant prayer. And in thanking God for the innumerable benefits received at His hands, we renew our trust in His Divine Providence for the future. We again pledge to Him our loyal efforts to spread a knowledge and love for the Holy Land and for the Sacred Places there, which He sanctified by His Life upon earth-those Shrines which Holy Mother Church has always venerated as her most precious heritage, applying to herself the words of Holy Scripture: "If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand be for- gotten!" (Psalm cxxxvi, 5.) THE COMMISSARIAT OF THE HOLY LAND

Since the 1950s, millions of American Christians have traveled to the Holy Land to visit places in Israel and the Palestinian territories associated with Jesus’s life and death. Why do these pilgrims choose to journey halfway around the world? How do they react to what they encounter, and how do they understand the trip upon return? This book places the answers to these questions into the context of broad historical trends, analyzing how the growth of mass-market evangelical and Catholic pilgrimage relates to changes in American Christian theology and culture over the last sixty years, including shifts in Jewish-Christian relations, the growth of small group spirituality, and the development of a Christian leisure industry. Drawing on five years of research with pilgrims before, during and after their trips, Walking Where Jesus Walked offers a lived religion approach that explores the trip’s hybrid nature for pilgrims themselves: both ordinary—tied to their everyday role as the family’s ritual specialists, and extraordinary—since they leave home in a dramatic way, often for the first time. Their experiences illuminate key tensions in contemporary US Christianity between material evidence and transcendent divinity, commoditization and religious authority, domestic relationships and global experience. Hillary Kaell crafts the first in-depth study of the cultural and religious significance of American Holy Land pilgrimage after 1948. The result sheds light on how Christian pilgrims, especially women, make sense of their experience in Israel-Palestine, offering an important complement to top-down approaches in studies of Christian Zionism and foreign policy.
