Have you always wanted to know why there are so many icons in Orthodox churches? Or why Mecca is a holy place for Muslims?
In fall 2024, the University Chaplains are organizing a tour of holy places, where we will explore some of the most well-known sacred sites in the capital area. We will visit four different locations throughout the fall, and the tour will be conducted in English.
You can join whenever it suits you—whether for every tour or just once. Each tour will accommodate 8 to 25 participants.
You won’t need to find the locations on your own. We will gather near each destination and walk there together. Detailed instructions will be sent to your email before each meeting. You are warmly welcome to join us in discovering these holy places!
