Bush To Visit Christian Holy Sites During Mideast Trip

AFP yesterday reported that during his current trip to Israel and the Palestinian territories, President Bush will visit a number of Christian holy sites. Today he will travel to Bethlehem. Jesus' birthplace. On Friday he will fly to the Sea of Galilee where Jesus delivered many of his sermons, will visit the ruins of Capernaum, the village where Jesus later lived, and Mount of the Beatitudes, where Jesus likely delivered his Sermon on the Mount. In addition to visiting Christian sites, Bush will tour Yad Vashem, the Holocaust Museum in Jerusalem, an obligatory stop for every visiting head of state. The White House website features an ongoing log on the trip by Press Secretary Dana Perino.
