Christian Aid organised this online pilgrimage through the Holy Land. From Bethlehem to Nazareth to Jerusalem we went beyond hearing about the people of the region and heard from them instead, we not only prayed for them but with them.
Local Christians, Jews and Muslims told their stories to help us understand how the conflict touches the lives of both Israelis and Palestinians, and how hard many people are working for peace.
The interactive blog was updated daily with short videos, podcasts, photo galleries, prayers and stories to bring the Holy Land alive over the Lenten period.

Unfortunately the two official speakers were unable to come, and so we filled their space with talks by two of our members, who were very much appreciated. Both had travelled to Gaza, one with the Viva Palestina convoy, the other on her own, to deliver much needed goods.
