Thousands of people took to the streets of Washington, D.C., on Saturday – not for a protest, but to bring Jesus Christ to the people of the city and to promote their faith.
Thousands of people turned out in Washington, D.C., on Saturday as part of the National Eucharistic Pilgrimage in a public display of faith and devotion to Jesus Christ. The pilgrimage was one of four from across the country that will converge in Indianapolis, Indiana, in July, ahead of the National Eucharistic Congress. Pilgrims along the 'Seton Route,' which began in New Haven, Connecticut, on May 17, reached Washington on June 8.
Throughout Saturday's event, the pilgrimage made several stops around Washington's Brookland neighborhood, where attendees had the chance to listen to lessons about Jesus Christ and sit in Eucharistic adoration.
