What is a pilgrimage? It’s certainly not a vacation, says Greg Friedman, OFM, who leads tours in Assisi, Italy, and the Holy Land. “When you go on pilgrimage,” Fr. Greg says, “you are there to allow God to work in your life.”
It is the holiest Christian shrine. But, until March 2017, it was in danger of imminent collapse.
The shrine goes by an odd name, the Edicule, meaning “little house. ” It sits under a great dome in Jerusalem’s Church of the Holy Sepulchre. No bigger than a good-sized garage, its marble-clad walls are festooned with hanging oil lamps and mismatched candlesticks with bare, energy-efficient lightbulbs. Daily, thousands of visitors line up for hours to see the sacred spot believed to be the burial place of Jesus.
