Part 2/10:
The Grandeur of the Pilgrimage
This annual pilgrimage, which began since 1983, gathers devout Catholics who seek to deepen their faith through prayer, worship, and communal procession. The pilgrimage starts in Paris, where vibrant masses are held in the city’s historic cathedrals, with thousands of young Catholics in prayerful preparation for the long walk ahead. Over the course of the three days, pilgrims are united in their devotion through daily Solemn Masses, celebrated in the traditional Latin Rite—an ancient liturgy that contradicts the reforms introduced by Vatican II. This form of worship emphasizes reverence, tradition, and a sense of sacred mystery, resonating deeply with those seeking a spiritual connection that feels rooted in history.
