Walk the Road of Peace

http://www.peacewalk.org Walk the Road of Peace

The Pilgrimage began in 1960 as a Christian witness for peace.

We welcome all persons of any age to join the Pilgrimage, symbolic of the journey of Mary and Joseph. In the 10-mile trek from Nazareth to Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, and in the rally, we seek to reflect the non-violent life of Jesus Christ and his truth of forgiving love. Walk with your family and friends and make new friends with others who seek a more peaceful world. We always walk the second Saturday in December, stopping at several churches along the way. Pilgrimage participants meet at the parking lot at 520 E. Broad Street, Bethlehem before 10:45 AM. Buses transport pilgrims to Nazareth Moravian Church on Center Square where the Pilgrimage begins. The Pilgrimage follows PA #191. Persons join at any point along the way. Support vehicles assist those not able to walk the entire way. Dress appropriately for the weather; pilgrims walk in sun, wind, rain or snow. Pilgrims arrive at Christ United Church of Christ, Market & Center Streets, Bethlehem, around 5:30 for a light meal and fellowship.
