ITALY RELIGIOUS TOUR
PRICES START FROM ONLY £650
We can arrange various group departures during the year
Overview
In pilgrimage, God and man seek each other and meet spontaneously and mysteriously. Pilgrimage is actually your response to God and thanks for reaching a chosen and blessed place. Throughout the ages, the Holy Places have attracted numerous pilgrims, who have always fulfilled with great emotion and joy their thoughts of pilgrimage to the footsteps of Him, who discovered His love and gave us eternal life through His Resurrection. The organic link between man’s response to God and the journey to these Holy Places is FAITH. God bless you all!
World Lifetime Journeys in partnership with Travelstonehenge offers you the opportunity to participate in several religious and cultural pilgrimages through different countries in Israel and Europe. The program of these pilgrimages was established with the help and consultation of several priests (Romano-Catholic, Greek-Catholic, Orthodox, Anglican, Evangelical) who will also be participating along with the other tourists.
The study was made very carefully so that during the entire duration of the pilgrimages the participants could reach the most important points of religious, cultural and tourist interest in the respective area. We also announce that daily spiritual and religious programs, conducted by the accompanying priests, will be held in the most well-known cathedrals and churches on the itinerary. At each pilgrimage you will benefit from a tour guide from our agency, an English speaker, who will accompany you along the way. Our guide is at your disposal regarding any problems that will arise during the trip. Before you go on a pilgrimage, we recommend that you read and view the links below for each pilgrimage.
This can be a great and unforgettable religious pilgrimage in Italy!
