Traditionally, about 2 thousand faithful, as part of pilgrimages from various parts of Belarus, annually head to the Fest of Our Lady of Budslau. The first walking pilgrimages set off on June 25, writes Katolik.life.
Traditionally, the longest pilgrimages from Baranavichy and Lida were the first to set off for the Catholic National Sanctuary in Budslau. Their participants will walk for 9 days and arrive at the miraculous icon of the Mother of God on July 3 — before the start of the Budslau Fest.
The pilgrims in Baranavichy were blessed by Bishop Antoni Dzyamyanka of Pinsk. They will cover the longest distance — almost 300 kilometers. Along the way, participants from Ivyanets, Rakau, Radashkovichy, and other settlements join the pilgrimage.
In the stories on the pilgrimage's page, you can leave your prayer request, which the pilgrims will pray for on their journey.
Soon, pilgrims from Vitebsk, Minsk, Narach, Smarhon, and other places will set off for Budslau. Last year, almost 2.5 thousand pilgrims arrived at the Fest of Our Lady of Budslau as part of over 20 walking and cycling pilgrimages.
