A quote from Saint Elizabeth the New Martyr, in a letter about a pilgrimage to the Holy Land, written to Queen Victoria of England, "It is such a dream to see all these places where Our Lord suffered for us and such an intense comfort to have been able to come to Jerusalem …. one can quietly pray and recall all that, as a little child, one already heard with such religious awe."
A quote about pilgrimage from Patriarch Daniel of Romania:""A pilgrimage is a spiritual event for all who participate in it with faith, piety, and love of God and the Church. In a place of pilgrimage, we find not only what the place has to offer, that is the Holy Church, relics, and divine services, but also what pilgrims bring with each other, namely their piety, zeal, patience, kindness, their way of being and meeting with God and with different people, some who have never known each other until that moment.""
