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.
During the 10-mile trek from Nazareth to Bethlehem, Pennsylvania we seek to reflect the non-violent life of Jesus Christ and his truth of forgiving love.
Pilgrimage participants meet at the parking lot at 529 E. Broad Street, Bethlehem before 10:45 AM, and buses will 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 route.
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 pm for a short closing gathering.
Walk with your family and friends and make new friends with others who seek a more peaceful world.
