A famous Azerbaijani singer on a pilgrimage

It is a time of simply ‘being’ rather than always ‘doing’. Pilgrimage can also be a highly sociable activity, allowing us to enjoy the company of others we meet on the road. It gives us the chance re-energise mentally, physical and spiritually. And it allows us to reconnect with our cultural heritage and the natural world—as well as to refresh our faith or seek spiritual direction.
