In this spirit, Mr. Roberto Rita will lead a group of pilgrims to the Holy Land, with a three-day stopover in Samaria. The \u201cPraying Pilgrimage\u201d has been organized with an eye to \u201cnot enacting the usual stop-and-go trend too common among pilgrims\u201d, writes Mr. Rita; the pilgrims will stay in Sebastiya, some in the Guesthouse and some with local families. For them, the pilgrimage will be a quest for their Christian roots, but will also be a great opportunity of dialogue and cultural exchange, in the town where the tomb of John the Baptist &#8211; prophet also remembered by the Muslims with the name of Yahia &#8211; is traditionally located.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After many years, ancient Samaria goes back to being a pilgrimage and tourist spot.
