>>> Walking together – across borders, towards peace <<

Love is the strongest force in the universe – it permeates and connects everything and builds bridges between all people. Pilgrimage creates openness for encounters, breaks down prejudices and fears, and strengthens trust – fundamental trust. In this way, supposed boundaries between peoples and religions can be Love and mutual respect be overcome.

"Go in peace, as a bridge between the peoples."
(Jerusalem Way Spirit)

 

North Macedonia

GPS is available for all countries from Spain to Jerusalem!

The route through North Macedonia is about 210 km. GPS is available in the webshop, there are further details about the GPS and how to use the app.

 

General information about the marking: Many areas and sections in the over 15 countries on the JERUSALEMWEG / JERUSALEM WAY have been marked in recent years. Work is in progress on the completion.

 

Below is a sample GPS stage from NORTH MACEDONIA.

From the travel diary: North Macedonia greets us with scorching heat and with Skopje we reach Mother Teresa's birthplace. From there we hike up and down on dusty roads, over vineyards and through the magnificent and fertile valley of the Vardar.

 

We attended the service on Sunday August 8, 2010 in the Catholic church of SKOPJE, which was held by the local bishop. Then we were blessed by the bishop in German!

 

On leaving this HERZ-JESUS-CHURCH we met 2 sisters from the order of the 'Missionaries of Charity', which had been founded by Mother TERESA. After a brief explanation of our pilgrimage to Jerusalem, the two sisters suddenly took their Mother Teresa medal from the rosary, kissed it, and each gave David and me a medal (Otto was not present at the time). It was a very touching moment for me and obviously also for David, we both got tears .. THANKS!
