Father Michael Driscoll provided an overview of Eastern Orthodox liturgies, describing the origins and inter-relatedness of these traditions.  He then led a half-day tour of pilgrimage sites of importance to Byzantine visitors to the Mount of Olives and Old City of Jerusalem.  The tour included the Church of the Ascension, Dominus Flevit, the Magdelene Church (Russian Orthodox), Pater Noster (Our Father Church), St. Anne's, the Via Dolorosa, and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.   Click on highlighted images below for enlarged versions of select pictures.
