catholic pilgrimage

Mine would be:

1. Vatican

2. Guadalupe

3. Poland

4. Ireland

5. Lourdes

I would rather see the Holy Land, where the Catholic Church has its roots, where its founder was born, lived, died, rose from the dead and ascended into heaven.

Unvoiced APTN news feature. Every year tens of thousands of Haitians come to Saut d#39;Eau and Ville Bonheur (Happiness Village) to pay homage to ...

please give me the name and locations. i need it for my research...thanks

Here are just some of the many sites:

1. Manaoag Church in Pangasinan
2. Antipolo Church in Antipolo, Rizal
3. Grotto in Novaliches
4. Carmelite Shrine in Quezon City
5. Pink Sisters Convent in Silang Cavite near Tagaytay
6. Grotto in Baguio City
7. Nazareno Shrine in Capalonga, Bicol
8. Nazareno in Quiapo, Manila
9. Sto. Nino Basilica in Tondo, Manila

So many others, what is common is that these sites are Churches. The idea is that it is not the site that makes the Church seems more holy than others, nor the faithful that venerates it. It is the personal faith which drives the individual to humble prayer is the real miracle, it is not Fr. Suarez or other healing priest that heals...it is the person that wills it to manifestation. All of these are just but extensions of eminent repose...sooner or later we all will meet our maker. And in the end the true miracle is still the individual's faith.

Price: $9.99

I am rather jealous of the Muslims of this world, with their mandatory pilgrimage to the holy city of Mecca. Yet, neither my local priest or the Holy Pope himself demands I visit the city of Rome to worship at the alter of Saint Peter. I am so keen to visit Rome and would like so much to visit this holy city (as well as a great city for shopping). I would also love to visit the Roman forum and the Colloseum. Does any other Catholic think that we should be demanded to visit Rome at least once in our lifes?

Yes, and you should walk the entire way...

Know anything of it? I'm analyzing a poem (The Passionate Man's Pilgrimage), and of course it mentions pilgrimage. Catholic and protestant religions were prevalent in the Elizabethan era, so I would love to know anything you know.

Many Christians would make pilgrimage to the Holy Land, both Catholic and Protestant. There was also the pilgrimage to Rome for the Catholics, and to the various sites of the lives and deaths of saints. One huge one for Protestants would be to Canterbury to pray at the tomb of Thomas Becket. Pilgrimage, however, was traditionally done more by the Catholics than the Protestants.

Was this early Bishop who is a canonized regular saint buried in an Irish cathedral? Did he die elsewhere and is buried elsewhere?

Thanks for your informative Yahoo! answer to a non-Catholic who is not Irish by family ancestry

Down Cathedral (former monastery) - -

here's some "history" at the Down website

Patrick's two principal biographers, Muirch and Tirechan, both writing some centuries later, take up the story. We are told that Patrick landed first on the coast of Wicklow and from there travelled northwards as far as Strangford Lough where he landed at the mouth of the River Slaney near Saul.

Here he met the local chieftain, Dichu, whom he converted to Christianity and who gave him a barn as his first church. The present Church of Ireland church at Saul, 2 miles distant from Down Cathedral, was built in 1932 to commemorate the fifteen hundredth anniversary of Patrick's arrival. Patrick spent many years travelling among the Irish, converting the people to Christianity, consecrating bishops and founding churches as he went.

Many years later, nearing the end of his life, he returned to Saul but let it be known that he wished to die in Armagh. He began to make his way there, but was interrupted, however, by the angel Victor telling him to return to Saul. There, in his last moments, he was tended by Bishop Tassach of Raholp. Muirchu describes his burial with tremendous sense of drama: 'Let two untamed oxen be chosen and let them go wherever they will with the cart that carries your body and wherever they stand still, there a church in honour of your body shall be erected . . . untamed oxen were chosen and they steadily drew the cart containing the holy body placed on their necks and, guided by the will of God, they went out to Dun Lethglaisse (Down) where Patrick lies buried.'

One cannot be certain of the exact spot of his burial, but the Memorial Stone, put in position by the Belfast Naturalists' Field Club in 1900, traditionally marks his grave. It is a slab of granite from the nearby Mourne Mountains.
