Sacred journey and conclusion
Description
This program examines the ancient significance of sacred journeys, or pilgrimages, and why individuals undertake them. Pilgrimages are encouraged and even required by many religions. All able Muslims must go to Mecca at least once during their lifetime. Both Jews and Christians are drawn to Jerusalem. Catholics visit Rome and shrines where miracles have taken place. Mormons journey to Salt Lake City. In Indianapolis, members of the Church Federation Prayer Vigil Network "journey" to places in the community where a murder has taken place, to say prayers and bring healing to the community. A pilgrimage to Auschwitz provides a journey of unsurpassed impact for two Holocaust survivors from Indianapolis.
