Many people today are turning to cremation as an easy, low-cost alternative to Christian burial. But is this really allowed by the Church? And if so, what do you need to know before you do this? Join Fr. Chris Alar as he gives an interesting summary of this important topic.

In this episode, Fr. Chris Alar presents our itinerary, covering Bethlehem, Nazareth, Mount Tabor, the Sea of Galilee, and Jerusalem. Alongside Jacoub Khaled, CEO of Nativity Pilgrimage, and top Christian guides living in the Holy Land, we explore the locations where Gospel events took place, using cultural, archaeological, and historical evidence to guide our footsteps. This series is made for everyone, from the confident believer to the curious skeptic, offering a basic yet profound understanding of the mystery of His divine and human natures as the Messiah and Son of God.

Father Anthony reflects on the story of the disciples on the road to Jerusalem, revealing how the risen Jesus often walks beside us unseen in our moments of confusion, doubt, and grief. He shows how Christ patiently listens, opens the Scriptures, and gently warms the heart before revealing himself—not through spectacle, but in the simple breaking of the bread. What seemed like a stranger becomes the Lord, and sorrow gives way to joy as their eyes are opened.
