The

Confraternity of Pilgrims to Jerusalem and beyond promotes the Way of the Soul that leads to Jerusalem. (The Camino Frances is called the Way of the Sword. It's the place where you battle your fears and face your demons. The via Francigena is called the Way of the Heart. It is the way of Love, but not human love, but Divine Love, whatever the term means to you.) The Confraternity highlights ancient and contemporary routes that stitched together form a whole connecting Canterbury Cathedral with Jerusalem's Temple Mount: via Francigena, via Appia, via Egnatia, Lycian Way, Sultans' Trail, Abraham's Path, Israel National Trail, Ecological Pilgrim's Way to Jerusalem.

The Confraternity is a source of practical information for those planning a pilgrimage to the city of gold on foot or by bicycle, horse or some other white-eyed quadruped. So where do you go after reaching Rome? You slip on your walking shoes, sling your rucksack, and continue to Jerusalem and beyond.

Jerusalem has been called the holiest city in the world, and is an important place of pilgrimage for Christians, Muslims and Jews. All the key events of Christ’s Passion, Crucifixion and Resurrection are based there. Holy Week pilgrims may follow His journey to the Cross on the Via Dolorosa, visit the Cenacle where the Last Supper was held on the Mount of Olives on Maundy Thursday, pray at Calvary on Good Friday, and attend the Easter Vigil, the final drama of Christ’s death and Resurrection, at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. This basilica is allegedly built on Mount Golgotha, where Jesus is thought to have been entombed.
