Our community undertook a number of pilgrimages to some of the holy places in South East England:
• to the Monastery of St John the Baptist in Essex
• to the holy sites at Canterbury
We are planning more pilgrimages in the years to come, not only to venerate local Anglo-Saxon saints but also hopefully to visit places connected to the life of Saint Elizabeth in England, Germany and Russia.
Ephesus
Two parishioners of our Sisterhood recently made a pilgrimage to Ephesus in Turkey, and here recount their spiritual experiences, which may interest the readers of this site.

Canterbury
This year the pilgrimage to Canterbury, in honour of its ancient saints, organised by the Sisterhood of the Holy New-Martyr Elizabeth and by the Parish of St Luke at Tunbridge Wells took place on Saturday 2nd July. It was probably the most successful and inspiring so far.
