Number of pilgrims doubled in 2017

Proud news: in 2017, 1,175 pilgrims registered, double the number of registrations in 2016. At that time there were 587. In the first year of our existence (2015), 458 pilgrims registered. More and more pilgrims know how to find our path and that is very beautiful!

News about registrations in 2018

It is interesting to see that in January 2018 155 new pilgrims registered. Last year, at the beginning of the year, we didn’t keep track of how many pilgrims registered per month, but at least there were far fewer than now. This year, too, the attention seems to be growing.
