PILGRIMAGES OF EUROPE (6)
*RECOMMENDED! by both Educational Media Reviews and Video Librarian
Pilgrimages are as old as mankind. The mystical and spiritual nature of a pilgrimage holds an eternal, mythic appeal to the imagination of many people. Every year millions of pilgrims of all nationalities, young and old, set out on these voyages of the soul. The twelve documentaries in this collection are experiential journeys to some of the most sacred routes and holy places throughout Christian Europe.
Each half-hour documentary, richly filmed, looks at the spiritual, cultural and historical background of an important pilgrimage sites throughout Europe. However, the people, the pilgrims themselves, are at the heart of these stories - their purposes and desires, their motivations, and the great sense of the holy and the sacred which they find on their journeys of faith.
