Pilgrimage

Our new focus in RE is ‘Pilgrimages’. Today we focused on the journey made by many Christians to Lourdes each year. We compared a pilgrimage to finding your way through a labyrinth, like the one found in Chartres Cathedral near Lourdes. We went outside and drew our own labyrinth to walk through, letting go of worries, focusing on the getting to the centre of the maze through the one path of the labyrinth. We imagined what visitors to Lourdes must feel approaching the spring found there by St Bernadette.
