The Holy Land with the Franciscan Custody

Since the fourteenth century, the Franciscans of the Custody of the Holy Land have looked after many of the places linked to the life of Jesus of Nazareth: the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem, the Basilica of the Nativity in Bethlehem, the Basilica of the Annunciation in Nazareth and Capernaum by the Sea of Galilee. Its website brings together information on pilgrimage, visiting each shrine and services for pilgrims, such as the office that coordinates group celebrations and a Christian information centre in Jerusalem. It is the historical reference for visiting the settings of the Gospels, whatever one's confession.
