Christian pilgrimages

Journey to the heart of your faith on a pilgrimage to the Holy Land, or one of the great sites that have seen miracles performed and hold the relics of the saints. See with your own eyes the places you’ve read about in the Bible: Bethlehem and Nazareth, where Jesus was born and grew up; the Sea of Galilee, little changed from the days when Christ chose his disciples and performed miracles by its shores; and the Via Dolorosa in the city of Jerusalem, the Way of the Cross that leads inexorably to Calvary. Pay devotion to the Virgin Mary at the Sanctuaries of Lourdes and Fatima, or take your stave and scallop shell and join a thousand-year-old tradition of pilgrimage along the Way of St James to the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela. Whatever your destination, a pilgrimage is both an opportunity to express your faith, and a means of deepening it.
