For more than a thousand years, many pilgrims visited the island, fasted for three days, and walked barefoot there. It is a journey of repentance of the heart. Pilgrims offer sacrifices and prayers for the spirits of the sanctuary where they are enriched by faith.
According to some of the practices of the western-bodies, away from all the Saturdays of Lent, the spirits of their loved ones ‘every Saturday celebrated as of the soul’s’. On Saturdays during this Lenten season, which is closest to God, we too can offer holy prayers and prayers for the souls of our loved ones.
