With the ongoing conflict in the Holy Land continuing to prevent pilgrims from visiting Jerusalem, the holy sites in Jerusalem remain mostly empty. In 2024, Magdala announced the release of its Lenten Virtual Pilgrimage of Prayer Through Jerusalem, allowing people from all over the world to visit Jerusalem virtually during Lent.
The daily 20-minute program took virtual pilgrims to well-known holy sites, including Calvary, Jesus’ tomb, Mount Zion, Gethsemane, the Western Wall, and the Way of the Cross, accompanied by a reflection on Christian prayer from these and many other hidden monasteries and Churches in the Old City that most visitors have never seen.
You can find out more information on Magdala’s website, Instagram account, and YouTube account.
