The 2025 Christian pilgrims have commenced their pilgrimage site visits in Jordan, visiting Mount Nebo, Fortress of Machaerus, and the Dead Sea as part of their 10-day exercise.
At Mount Nebo, pilgrims saw where Moses viewed the Land of Canaan and admired the Brazen Serpent Monument, a symbol of the bronze serpent created by Moses. They then visited Mukawir (Machaerus), Herod the Great's hilltop stronghold where John the Baptist was beheaded, and the Dead Sea, the lowest point on Earth.
The Lagos State Christian Pilgrims Welfare Board's Secretary, Okudero Gbolabo Omoniyi Ph.D., with the support of the operational staff, ensured a seamless trip, overseeing pilgrims' safety and welfare. Pilgrims have shared resounding testimonies, praising God for the experience.
At each pilgrimage site, praises and prayers were made by the pilgrims for themselves, the Lagos State Government, and the Country. Equally, praises and prayers were said within the buses while moving from one pilgrimage site to another. The pilgrims also observed morning and evening devotion to maintain the spiritual essence of the journey.
The pilgrims look forward to entering Israel on Day 3, Tuesday, 3rd February 2026.
