The Judeo-Christian tradition has a long history in Myanmar, beginning with the arrival of Catholic missionaries in 1554, the introduction of Protestantism in 1813, and the immigration of Iraqi and Cochin (Indian) Jews in the mid-19th century. The tour includes cultural visits to various historic churches and Myanmar’s last surviving synagogue, along with discussions of the religions, culture and architecture. Also included on an occasional basis is the sharing of meals with local priests, ministers and elder laypeople, as well as the joining of masses/services, bible study and meditation.
