A new “Camino” pilgrim walk which involves visiting and praying in seven Dublin churches was inaugurated by the Catholic and Protestant archbishops of the city over the weekend.
Pilgrims will be issued with a “passport” at the start of the walk, in St Ann’s Church on Dawson Street, which must be stamped in each church to show each pilgrim’s progress.
The pilgrim walk will run until June 16th, and is thought to take about four hours to complete if done in one day. It can, however, be completed over a number of days.
The Camino is the first of its kind in Dublin and is being organised in preparation for the international Eucharistic Congress. The organisers hope it will help pilgrims strengthen and renew their faith.
