VISITA IGLESIA

Visiting different Churches every Maundy

Thursday is a sacrifice and solemn prayer and not
just for leisure.

You can visit as many churches as you

want or you can follow the old tradition of
visiting only seven churches.

This is not a time to do Stations of the

Cross but an adoration and visit to the Blessed
Sacrament in the repository
