Welcome to the Index of blog posts about the “Footsteps of Jesus” pilgrimage I took in the Spring of 2017. I’m writing this series as a way of processing the experience and sharing my photos and reflections with our church, my friends, and those interested in pilgrimage and the Christian faith. Every Friday, I’ll put up a new post. They are listed here in chronological order. Enjoy!
