Day 2 - Krakow
Your tour director is at the airport to warmly greet you and soon you're
comfortably settled at your hotel, then perhaps a short stroll in the old
city before or after your dinner..
Day 3 - Krakow - Auschwitz - Krakow
After breakfast we explore Market Square and hear the silver trumpet of the
bugler from St Mary's Tower. Within the Cathedral you may pray before the
extraordinary Wit Stwosz altar. The surroundings of the square have remained
unchanged for almost 700 years and contain buildings of historic value such
as St. Mary’s Church with the famous wooden altar, the Town Hall Tower, the
Cloth Hall and the burgher’s houses. Tour the Cathedral, Coronation Chapel
and the Royal Chambers where a superb collection of Arras tapestries is on
view. In the
afternoon we go to Auschwitz, the notorious Nazi concentration camp. We will
see the cell that imprisoned St Maximillian Kolbe and the Martyrdom Museum
recalling the horrors of the Holocaust. Return to Krakow for dinner and
overnight.
Day 4 - Krakow - Full Day Visit to Lagiewniki
After breakfast we depart for our day's excursion to Lagiewniki. The
capital of the Divine Mercy. It was here that originated the message of the
Divine Mercy, which Christ Himself wished to pass on to our generation,
through the mediation of St. Faustina. The Sanctuary houses grace-working
image of Merciful Jesus and the relics of St. Faustina.
We will visit the Shrine of Divine Mercy, St. Faustina's convent chapel, and
we will visit St. Faustina's Tomb. Return to Krakow for our farewell dinner.
Day
5 - Krakow - Medjugorje
Early morning departure from Krakow for your flights to Medjugorje.
Upon arrival, you'll be greeted by a tour guide and/or driver who will then take
you on the 2 1/2 hour drive by private coach to the village of Medjugorje. Once there,
you'll meet your fellow pilgrims
and be introduced to your host family in whose modern and comfortable house you
will be staying for the next four nights.
Days 6 to 8 - Medjugorje
The balance of your trip in Medjugorje is meant to provide you with time for a
personal retreat. As such, your time in Medjugorje is not designed to be a
“tour”, but rather to provide you with time to pray, reflect, and explore on
your own as you feel called. On arrival, you will have an orientation tour after
which a representative of 206 Tours will be available should you have any
questions or requests, however, you will not have a guide with you through out
your stay. Daily Mass in English, as well as English confessions are available
at St. James Church. During your stay in Medjugorje you will have full
discretion over how your time is spent, in order to have the fullest spiritual
experience possible. If you would prefer our traditional pilgrimage/tour of
Medjugorje, we would recommend you consider our Tour #1 (www.206tours.com/tour1)
which provides a tour escort and spiritual leader through out your stay.
Experience the beauty and peace of this simple village. During your stay in
Medjugorje you will have the opportunity to share faith with pilgrims from all
over the world.
Here are some of the activities you'll be sharing with our fellow
pilgrims: Each morning at 10am we assemble at St James Church for the
English-language Mass (Feast
days and Sundays English Mass is at Noon).
Follow the path up Apparition Hill where the visionaries first
encountered Our Lady. Touch and pray before the cross that commemorates
the spot where Mary first appeared to the visionaries.
Each evening at 5pm or 6pm daylight savings time, we will join the
villagers and pilgrims to pray the rosary. The apparition takes place
at 5:40pm
or 6:40 daylight savings time, and then stay on for Croatian Mass. Don't
miss on Tuesdays and Saturdays Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament and on
Fridays Veneration of the Cross in the Church.
Each evening during Croatian Mass, there is the Blessing of the Sick and
blessing of the items you have with you.
Our guide will arrange meetings with the visionaries at their own homes
provided that they are in Medjugorje during your trip, and pending their
availability. We will have the opportunity to climb Krizevac Mountain,
where in 1933 the villagers built a 30' high cross on the anniversary of
Jesus' crucifixion. Visit and pray at "Blue Cross", which is a place of
great healings and graces- a very special
place at the base of Apparition Hill.
Day 9 - Medjugorje - USA
After an early breakfast and heartfelt farewells, we leave by motor coach for
Dubrovnik Airport (Split or Sarajevo) for
return flights home
.
