Gaza Ceasefire Pilgrimage Tāmaki Makaurau, Auckland
Start: Saturday, March 16, 2024• 5:30 AM
Together we will walk, cycle or roll the length of Gaza - 41km - mirroring the journey Gazans are being forced to take to flee bombardment. Join some or all of the route with us.
Please arrive at 5.30am for the briefing, at 6.00am the hīkoi begins.
We will be following the 14 stations of the cross, stopping at churches as well as sites of significance for our own setting in Aotearoa, with the intention of weaving our story a little deeper with those in Palestine.
This walk is one of 125 Gaza Ceasefire Pilgrimages in 17 countries happening around the world during Lent. Check out the other Aotearoa locations here.
We'll also be raising funds to support the work of the Department of Service to Palestinian Refugees via Christian World Service - a practical way we can help Gazans from afar. Donate here: https://cws.org.nz/donate-to-the-gaza-ceasefire-pilgrimage/
