To go on pilgrimage is not simply to journey to a holy place. There is an inner journey as well as the outer journey. To enable the inner journey to take place we need to practise the presence of God.
Pilgrimage is a sacramental act.
The pilgrim regards and touches the physical places in order to apprehend the spiritual realities to which those places witness. To sit sacramentally by that altar in the Basilica of the Nativity is to allow its adornments to bring home to one's heart that most important and wonderful truth that God became man for you and for me. The Pilgrimage to the Holy Land with the Rev Ian Day has been arranged through the experienced offices of Orientours Pilgrimages . Further information about this Pilgrimage can be obtained by sending an email to the leader, the Reverend Ian Day , Vicar of Mold.
