The Madaba Map is part of a floor mosaic in the early
Byzantine church of Saint George at Madaba, Jordan. The Madaba Map is a map of
the Middle East. Part of it contains the oldest surviving map of the Holy Land and especially
Jerusalem. It dates to 550 AD. You can note the Roman Cardo or main street as
well as the church of the Holy Sepulcher. We will see a full size replica when we visit the Cardo in the Old City.
Three times a year worshipers would travel up to the Jerusalem, the CITY ON A HILL, for the festivals. Over the years, a songbook developed that served as the pilgrims’ traveling songs. Psalms 120-134 are called "The Psalms of Ascent.” These are the songs the Jews sang as they ascended to Jerusalem and will be our theme as we travel together for a transformational trip to the land where Jesus walked.
