Short reflections from some of the Pilgrims

22nd June, 2009 - Posted by Pilgrims -

Returning to Ephasus and the house of Mary after 21 years was a very different experience considering the number of pilgrims.

However as previously it was a wonderful spiritual time especially the mass. The mass was very meaningful. I feel blessed and grateful for the oportuinity to be with this great group. I carry the prayers of all my loved ones and friends in my heart.

I have taken a large collection of photos showing key sights relating to Paul’s journeys and of all the pilgrims which I will share with the readers when I return. I am extending my prayers and best wishes as today, following the extraordinary experiences of Patmos and Ephesus, we journey to Meteora and its Monasteries. There were some fascinating religious and cultural points which I have picked up from the specialist guides which would make riveting reading. God bless!

Sunday we visited Patmos where John lived and did some of his writings. We then visited the house of the virgin mary and ephesus. This was a very significant day. Even though it was rushed we saw everything that was on the tour for the day. Our physical journey today Monday takes us up through the centre of Greece to more sacred sites but more importantly we take you in our prayers.
