Away from the
main stream theme parks like Disney Land and Universal Studios Resorts are the
two major religious attractions for the tourist that reach Florida taking any
of the discounted Orlando Flights offered by various airlines and
websites. It is a good idea to compare
rates offered by various airlines and travel companies to find the Cheap Flights
to Orlando and save on the travel costs.
The Holy Land
Experience is a niche theme park that depicts life in Israel in first
century A.D. Tourist stroll through Jerusalem and other biblical places as
depicted in the New Testament. The major exhibits of the theme park are as
follows:
·
Wilderness Tabernacle
·
The
Judean Village
·
Dead
Sea Qumran Caves
·
Calvary’s
Garden Tomb
·
Temple
Plaza
·
Crystal
Living Waters
The Holy land experience
opens up new avenue of thought and reflection on the life and times of Jesus
and is an experience that mesmerizes adults and children alike. It gives the
travelers a chance to go back in time and look at life and people similar to
what Christ saw during his lifetime and what is told by the Gospels. The
universal appeal of the theme can be gauged by the fact that the place is
popular with all holiday makers irrespective of their religious leanings.
The National
Shrine of Mary - Queen of the Universe is the second such religious place in
Orlando, which attracts a large number of tourists. Build primarily to serve
the large number of faithful that visited the resort town, the shrine has
become a major attraction.
The shrine
can be subdivided into the following sections:
·
Church
·
The
Blessed Sacrament Chapel
·
The Mother &
Child Outdoor Chapel
·
Pilgrimage
Center
·
The Museum
·
The Rosary
Garden
·
Gift
shop
The shrine’s
stained-glass windows depict God’s affection for humans and the place of Mary
in the almighty’s plan for the mortals. The huge inner sanctum of the Church
can easily hold a congregation of two thousand people. The
Blessed Sacrament Chapel and the Mother & Child Outdoor Chapel allow the
believers to pray in solitude and feel the closeness to God.
The Rosary
Garden with the carefully mowed grass and blooming flowers bring the visitors
close to Nature, while the museum displays the
religious art painstakingly collected from around the world. The
Pilgrimage Center tells the visitors the Catholic Church’s history over the two
millennia and the gift shop provides a variety of religious book and souvenirs
for the visitors. Since it is not a parish church; it does not performs
weddings, funerals or baptism, as is clearly stated on their official website.
It is opened daily from 0700hrs to 1700 hrs local time and the confessions can
be made 1000hrs to 1700 hrs Monday to Saturday and on Sunday from 1300 hrs to
1700 hrs.
To summarize, the Holy
land experience and the Shrine of Mary are places that appeals to people of
every faith. And no visit to Orlando can be considered complete without
pilgrimage to the Holy land experience and Queen of the Universe’s church.
