SUMMARY:Pilgrimage to the Holy Land
DESCRIPTION:A pilgrimage to the Holy Land is one of the most powerful experiences in Christian life. Technology allows us to explore these places through video and books\, which is a gift. But\, when possible\, an in-person pilgrimage is different. It changes the pilgrim\, and it deepens the faith of those who hear the stories brought home. \nIn Lent 2027\, we will have the chance to make such a pilgrimage together. Our Diocese has organized Holy Land pilgrimages since 2012. They were paused in 2020\, and now\, by God’s grace\, they will resume. We will visit the Church of the Nativity\, marking the place of Jesus’ birth; the Church of the Holy Sepulcher\, marking his death and resurrection; and the many sacred sites in between. \n\nWe are moving toward the final composition of our pilgrim group\, but it’s not too late to learn more or consider joining us.\nIf you have ever dreamed of walking in the places where Jesus lived and ministered\, we invite you to consider this once-in-a-lifetime\, life-changing spiritual pilgrimage.\n\nFor more information\, please contact Lisa Sibal at Christ Church Cathedral at lsibal@cccnola.org.
