CNA Staff, February 8, 2021 / 3:46 p.m. MT (CNA) .- Several Catholic groups have opened online registration for a free virtual pilgrimage, where pilgrims can experience the culture and prayer of the Holy Land during more than 40 days.
It is called “Pilgrimage in Faith: A Virtual Lenten Journey through the Holy Land inspired by Abraham, our Father in the Faith†and will take place from February 15 to April 4.
This is the second virtual pilgrimage since the organizations of the Pontifical Center of Our Lady of Jerusalem, Terra Sancta Mexico and Magdala made a similar trip in October.
The pilgrims will experience a virtual tour of the Holy Land through Lent and Holy Week, and they will conclude the pilgrimage with a broadcast of the Easter Vigil Mass and a reflection on the “Pilgrimage in Faith†.
Each day, the virtual tour will offer a 30-minute reflection on the Creed alongside important places in the Holy Land. It will then be followed by the broadcast of the Mass. The first two days will also include two introductory videos from pilgrim leaders Kathleen Nichols and Father Eamon Kelly.
The Consecrated Women of Regnum Christi and the RC Music Collective provided a majority of musical content for the pilgrimage. An additional piece was composed by Alejandro de la Garza to help pilgrims meditate during the Lent period.
Several registered participants will also win a special gift at the end of the virtual pilgrimage. Prizes will be drawn on Easter Sunday.
