It has been a learning, spiritual and emotional experience for the young pilgrims as they travelled across the Holy Land over the past week. And they were struck by different sites and for various reasons.
Young couple Maryliz Baldacchino, 21, of Żurrieq, and Conrad Borg, 22, of San Ġwann, were most impressed by the Basilica of the Nativity and by the Milk Grotto, dedicated to Our Lady's maternity, in Bethlehem and the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem.
"I could barely believe that I was there and touching with my own hands these sacred places. And all that I had learnt in religion classes made more sense now," said Ms Baldacchnio.
On the other hand, Ian Ellul, 29, of Luqa, who was visiting the Holy Land for the second time, said the place that inspired him most to meditate was Galilee.
"It was the most peaceful among all sites," he says. "It's so different from the Basilica of the Nativity and the Basilica of the Holy Sepulchre which are so busy with tourists all day long that it's difficult to find time for yourself to reflect."
Liliana Bonello, 25, of Siġġiewi, felt inspired in Bethany, where Jesus's friends Martha, Maria and Lazarus lived. She was struck mostly by Archbishop Paul Cremona's sermon there which focused on the importance of friendship and on "how God loves us all and wishes to have an intimate experience with us".
Ingeborg Rulf Cofré, of Chile, who resides in Brazil, learnt of this pilgrimage from Fr John Caruana who is a missionary in her country. She is currently studying in France but comes back and forth to Malta as she has many friends on the island.
"I mostly enjoyed Nazareth and Capernaum, because they are not that touristic," she said.
Like many other pilgrims, she had no idea that basilicas were built upon the remains of holy sites over the years in order to protect them, such as the Basilica of the Annunciation in Nazareth, which houses the grotto of Mary and the House of St Peter in Capernaum.
"It is so important to keep the memory alive."
Pauline Fenech, 30, of Mosta, said the place that was most significant to her was the Garden of Gethsemane where she felt she was "uniting with Christ in his agony".
However, she came on this trip not only to learn more about her religion but also because she was curious about the history and culture of Israel. There were also some fun activities, so according to her, "it was a balanced trip overall - and we had good fun too".
