Off the cost of Ireland, as the Bay of Galway opens to the mighty Atlantic Ocean, is a series of three islands with a history spanning nearly 4,000 years. Today, I thought we might visit one of the more remote sites to which I’ve ever traveled. Join me as I lead you through a tour of Inis Oírr and the Aran Islands.

Today’s guest blog is written by Pastor Bruce Van Sickle, of the Evangelical Free Church of Green Valley. Pastor Bruce has traveled to the Holy Land as the leader of numerous pilgrimage groups.

Many years ago I had the opportunity to travel to Spain for a site inspection (when a travel company representative visits an area wish which (s)he is unfamiliar, for the purpose of setting up relationships with hotels, restaurants, concert venues, and sightseeing attractions). Although it sounds like a great thing to do, it is often filled with difficulty and challenge.

How difficult could it be to stay in a different hotel every night for over a week and fill my days with meetings and tours of sites? We’ll today, I’ll tell you about the first time I visited Madrid and what a horrible and wonderful experience it was!

Salisbury is an ancient site of worship, in many respects. Follow us as we travel through history to visit Stonehenge, Old Sarum, and the Salisbury Cathedral.

Today I offer you something different. Instead of focusing on one place, I want to tell you about three different sites, in two different countries, that are all about a 30 minute drive from each other. Join me as we take a virtual pilgrimage to Trier, Echternach, and the Luxembourg American Cemetery and Memorial.

Located just 8 miles South of Edinburgh is a site that draws thousands of tourists each year. Most of the visitors to the site view it as a literary “must see” and not a religious pilgrimage site. So today, we’ll visit Rosslyn Chapel and learn about its history and significance. I’ll also share why anyone interested in church history and lore might add this to his or her list of sites to visit in Scotland.
