Virtual Pilgrimage to Jerusalem

Friday, March 7, 10am-4pm, Saint Mark’s

Lent is sometimes described as a pilgrimage from Ashes to Alleluia. Begin Lent with a daylong retreat from Episcopalians all over Connecticut, hosted by St. Mark’s in New Canaan.

Join Bishop Jeffrey Mello and Canon Iyad Qumri, from the Diocese of Jerusalem, in participating in a virtual pilgrimage through Jerusalem–including St. George’s Cathedral, the Old City, Temple Mount, and Church of the Holy Sepulchre. As you progress on this journey, you will be given time to pause, reflect, meditate, and pray as you walk in the footsteps of and learn more about the ministry of Jesus. Your day will conclude “walking” the Via Dolorosa, praying the Stations of the Cross.

This workshop is geared toward those who want to learn about pilgrimages to the Holy Land, as well as those who have been on pilgrimage but want a refresher and/or an opportunity to reunite with fellow pilgrims. It will be especially rewarding for anyone who would like to go on pilgrimage but cannot afford the time or expense of a full trip.

Check-in will begin at 9:30am, with the program starting at 10am and ending at 4pm. The registration fee of $25 includes a Mediterranean lunch.
