Pilgrimage

A Sabbatical or a Pilgrimage?

A Sabbatical or a Pilgrimage?

It’s the middle of Holy Week. As we begin the Sacrum Triduum (Holy Three Days) of Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and the Easter Vigil, I am struck that in a week, Jim and I will land in Tel Aviv and check into our hotel in Jerusalem, just a fifteen minute walk from the Old City where the crucifixion and resurrection happened. Next week will also be Orthodox Easter, the end of Passover, and the middle of Ramadan in a site sacred to Jews, Christians, and Muslims. What a time to arrive!
