朝聖資料 - 聖地在華辦事處

關於朝聖

基督徒就是朝聖者，是旅居在世的僑民，因為基督徒原不屬於這世界。

想想主基督吧！為了完全分享我們的生命，祂自天父處降生成人，之後又回到天父那裡去。

耶穌基督就是朝聖之聖者。

我真高興，因為有人對我說：「我們要進入上主的聖殿！」

聖地－耶穌實際走過的地方－的過去和現在。

聖地地理隨著歷史、政治、軍事情況，幅員不斷演變。

白冷，耶穌誕生的地方，在此天主為我們賜下祂的獨生子。

橄欖山，乘載著耶穌受苦與升天之地，苦痛之後光榮必臨。

耶路撒冷，耶穌死亡與復活的地方，是所有基督徒心中的聖城。

猶大曠野位於耶路撒冷以東，地勢下斜至死海。耶穌在此禁食祈禱並受試探。

耶穌走遍了全加里肋亞，在他們的會堂內施教，宣講天國的福音（瑪四23）。

在此介紹朝聖行經的其他地區，皆有其重要意義，補齊了朝聖的完整。
