Pilgrimages
Parish-organised pilgrimages.
Mull Monastery
The Orthodox monastery of All Celtic Saints on the Isle of Mull, near Iona, from where St Columba's monks brought the Gospel to northern Britain.
The Holy Land
The places of Christ's life, death and Resurrection: Bethlehem, Nazareth, the Jordan, and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem, built over Golgotha and the empty Tomb.
Mount Athos
The Holy Mountain, a monastic peninsula in northern Greece where monks have prayed without interruption for over a thousand years. It is the centre of Orthodox monasticism.
Nearer home
The parish, walking to the river together.
Travelling as a Parish
Orthodox Christians have always travelled to holy places to pray, to give thanks and to venerate the saints. Travelling together as a parish, praying and eating side by side, brings people closer in a way few things at home can.
The parish organises its own pilgrimages, and the destinations above are only some of them. Not every pilgrimage is far away: the photograph shows the parish walking to the river near the church, during the Theophany service. Everyone is welcome to come. If you would like to hear about the next one, speak to the clergy on a Sunday.
Dates, itineraries, and how to join the next pilgrimage are announced to the parish as trips are organised.
