Pre-financing icon pins refunded

Our pilgrimage route has reached a new milestone: we are standing on more than 600 pilgrims who have registered for a ‘walk of wisdom’.

Thanks to the registration fees, we were able to repay the last two of the fourteen pre-financiers who helped us purchase 500 pins from our icon Pilgrim. The icon pins are in the starter pack of a pilgrim and we didn’t have enough money last summer to buy them on a large scale and therefore cheaply. Fourteen pre-financiers transferred €250. For every 50 new pilgrims, we paid back two. We are happy and proud that we have now paid them all back.
