The next stop was Bethlehem, where they were based for the remainder of the visit.
On Tuesday 14 January, the Bishops met with representatives of Palestinian civil society before meeting students and staff from Bethlehem University.
The delegation also visited projects supported by individual Bishops’ Conferences of the Holy Land Co-ordination focusing on education and youth empowerment schemes.
There was also a visit to the Cremisan Valley where the security wall threatens the livelihoods of over 50 Christian families based in Beit Sahour and Beit Jala (in the Bethlehem area).
One of the key components of this year's Holy Land Co-ordination was a two-day visit to the Gaza Strip.
Gaza is a man-made disaster, a shocking scandal, an injustice that cries out to the human community for a resolution.
