Does anyone know whow I can obtain leaves from the Garden of Gethsemane or relics from Bethlehem (e.g. stones from the place of Christ’s birth)?

Thanks in advance and God bless.
 
Why not visit Israel if you can?

Being there would give you so much more.

Been there and I concur!

There is no substitute for walking your human feet where HE walked HIS!!!

It is not particularly dangerous to travel there; since Mark Twain’s times, thousands of Westerners have gone there, and none have been interfered with.

And it is expensive, but no moreso than a similar tour to the European countries.

Hi Gib -

If you can’t afford the trip, e-mail or write to the Franciscan friars in the Holy Land. They would probably put you in touch with a gift shop that could sell you those items. Much less expensive than plane fare! 🙂

Googling might find a gift shop even more quickly.
 
Thank you all for your replies. As much as I would like to visit the Holy Land, at the moment, this is not possible - although it is one of my aims to go there one day. For now, I’ll try contacting the Franciscan Friars - maybe they know how I can obtain one of these relics.

Nevertheless, one day I do want to visit the Holy Sites in Israel and Palestine so that I can pray at the places of our Lord’s Passion, as well as the places associated with His life.

May God bless you all and may Our Lady of Europe pray for us!
