Easter festival to focus on retracing christian pilgrim paths

The country boasts a series of traditional holy trails throughout Munster, Connacht, and Leinster. From March 22-29 has been designated National Pilgrim Paths Weekend and during the Easter period, a series of events have been organised.

A day-long pilgrim’s trail event, first held in 2014, has been extended into an inaugural week-long festival. The walks will take place on medieval penitential trails.
