„Since I started to go on pilgrimages, my life has changed.“
Coming into contact with places where one feels good and coming back as if reborn is a longing that still drives pilgrims onto the streets today. People start moving and experience that step by step something is happening. „Since I started to go on pilgrimages, my life has changed,“ is the experience of a young man who for a long time could not understand why his father took on the arduous pilgrimage on foot year after year.
But setting out is not the only thing. The destination is decisive. There are the holy places where the presence of God can be experienced in a special way. Places of pilgrimage radiate the closeness of God and take the visitor into an atmosphere of salvation.
