Pilgrims of Hope: Advent journey for all senses begins now!
At the heart of the pre-Christmas season is the “Pilgrimage of Hope,” which takes people to various places from the first of Advent to the New Year and invites them to pause.

Like the diocese of Passau reported, the campaign is organized by a dedicated calendar team who prepare the participants for the Christmas celebrations.
