Pilgrims along their journey are not only facing themselves but also the forces of nature. They test their spiritual, physical, and will-power, and in recognition of this, they can return home with a certificate which proves that they finished the last 100 kilometers of Mary’s Way on foot, bicycle or horseback.
“You are a wanderer, you have to advance daily on the route, your only purpose which leads to the knowledge of your soul and the divine content of it. It’s not easy. Think about how many temptations you will encounter on the road…to rest, to interrupt your journey, to take care of something else! (...) But when this is not your responsibility! You are a wanderer and you must advance every day!” (Sándor Márai)
Through the pilgrimage we get closer to nature, to our predecessors, to our traditions and primarily to ourselves. This road is a challenge, a road on which we have to recognize and overcome our limits.
