DIOCESE OF GREAT BRITAIN: 29 May 2024
A pilgrimage to the holy sites of Georgia from Great Britain concludes (photo-report)
From 14-23 May, 2024, a group of pilgrims from the United Kingdom made a pilgrimage to the holy Orthodox sites of Georgia. Organized by the Parish of St Elisabeth in Wallasey, England, of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia and led by the Diocesan Chancellor Archpriest Paul Elliott, the pilgrims spent over a week in one of the oldest Orthodox lands in the world, venerating the relics of saints, worshiping in sacred shrines and temples, and visiting with representatives of the Patriarch of Georgia as well as clergy and monastics across the region.
An account of the pilgrimage by Archpriest Paul was received by the Diocesan web site, and we provide it here, followed by an extensive photogallery.
