The history of the Holy Land

For over 2000 years the Holy Land has been the locus of the most significant historic events known to man ג€“ certainly for Christianity but also influencing humanity worldwide.

How would such monumental occurrences be reported by modern-day media? How would the headlines and coverage of the New York Times or the London Times look on the next morning of these important historic developments? The Chronicle of Pilgrimage to the Holy Land takes upon itself to tackle this challenge: to provide lively and colorful journalistic reports “on location”, rather than as dry historical analysis of these events.

The Chronicle of Pilgrimage to the Holy Land is the fruit of over seven years of labor. Numerous archives and private collections were perused for ancient scrolls and historic testimonies; antique photographs and artwork were computer-analyzed and renewed for first-ever display, and historic sites were brought alive by vibrant contemporary photography. Each historic event has been detailed by historians for factual accuracy, and then edited by acting newspaper editors as they would today: deciding which “story” will enter the “front page” and with what often sensational headline to top it with - to present the happening in a contemporary, concise and authentic fashion.

The result is a spectacular album of 256 chromo pages, enriched with over 1100 (!) color photographs, depicting the events from year 0 to 2006. Using headlines, brief reports and multiple pictures and illustrations, history comes to life in a light, live-coverage-like, sensational newspaper style. The reader finds himself actually living the period, fighting within the Crusader ranks, becoming energized and excited by the pilgrimage to the Holy Land and the encounter with the historic and holy places.

The Album was further examined by authorative clergy and heads of the various church denominations, and was praised enthusiastically to be both an authentic report, as well as a fresh, unique and enjoyable historical account.
