We are pleased to share the news of a special initiative conceived by Livia Pomodoro and promoted by the “GIUBILEO 2025 – No’hma in cammino” Association. A pilgrimage to 14 of Europe’s most significant and prestigious abbeys, which over a period of three years, from July 2023 until the Jubilee year of 2025, will make stops at these evocative places, rich in history, art, and spirituality. These beacons of civilization have illuminated the darkest years of our continent from the Middle Ages to the present day.
This modern pilgrimage will depart from July 28th from Canterbury, the starting point of the Via Francigena, marked by Bishop Sigeric just before the year 1000. It will culminate in Rome in 2025 during the Holy Year.
