RE Task

Learning Focus 2: Special places for the Christian community. Pilgrimage: A religious or spiritual journey, usually to an important religious place. Pilgrim: A person who performs a religious or spiritual journey known as a pilgrimage. Many countries around the world have their own places of pilgrimage. Here are some different places of pilgrimage around the world:

Rome

Rome is an important place of pilgrimage, particularly for Roman Catholics. The Vatican is the home of the Pope, the spiritual head of the Roman Catholic Church.

Lourdes

The pilgrimage site of Lourdes is near the Pyrenees mountains in France.

Every year, it is visited by millions of pilgrims, particularly Roman Catholics. They come to Lourdes to see the site of a famous vision experienced by a young girl called Bernadette Soubirous and to be healed by its supposedly miraculous waters

Bethlehem

(Christmas celebrations in Bethlehem, Bethlehem)

Bethlehem is situated approximately five and a half miles west of Jerusalem. It is the place where Christians believe Jesus was born. The most important site in Bethlehem is

the Church of the Nativity in Manger Square, which was built in the fourth century.

Inside the Church of the Nativity, there is a tiny area called the Grotto of the Nativity. In this grotto, there is a 14-pointed star, which is believed by some Christians to indicate the birthplace of Jesus Christ.

Nazareth

(Basilica of the Annunciation, Nazareth)

Nazareth is believed to be the place where Jesus spent his childhood. Therefore, Christians visit places in Nazareth that are said to mark areas of importance to Jesus' family.

Jerusalem

Jerusalem is an important place of pilgrimage for Christians, just as it is for Jews and Muslims.

Christians believe that Jesus visited Jerusalem at Passover time and spent the week leading up to his death there. Christian pilgrims visit Jerusalem, therefore, to remember key events in Jesus' final week, known as Holy Week.

Did you know there are places of pilgrimage in England and Wales, which you can research further? For example:

Our Lady’s shrine at Walsingham in Norfolk. This shrine honours the Annunciation and was one of the greatest shrines for Christians in medieval times – when travel to the Holy Land was very difficult.

Our Lady of the Taper is the national Catholic shrine of Wales. It is in Cardigan. A legend describes how a statue of Mary was found about one thousand years ago by the side of the river Teifi. The statue was of Mary with Jesus on her lap and a candle (taper) burning in her hand.

St Winefride’s Well in Holywell, North Wales, centres round a holy woman called Winefride who lived in the 7th century. She became a saint and her well at Holywell has been a place of pilgrimage and healing since that time.

Part of a pilgrimage to a special place is that it reminds people how important it is to pray and take time to think about what is important in their lives.

Take a quiet moment now to reflect on God being with us always, with this prayer: Lord, thank you for giving us so many special places In our homes, In our school, in our churches, in our world, in our hearts. Help us to take time to be still. Some key questions to discuss:

Q Have you or anyone you know been on a pilgrimage?

Q Why do you think people go on pilgrimages?

Q What might be the joys of a pilgrimage and how would it help the person in their Christian life?

Q What do you think the challenges of making a pilgrimage might be?

Q Why do you think a pilgrimage is a special time to pray? Activity: In the past, pilgrims often returned from their pilgrimage with a badge to show where they had been. Pilgrims to the shrine of St James at Compostella in Spain wore a shell badge:

Design a badge for one of the special places of pilgrimage you have learnt about today. You could then label it, giving reasons for your choice of design.
