Easter, Passover, and pilgrimages at "appointed times." See this week's Substack for my thoughts on these pilgrimages, and a roundup of pilgrimage news from around the world. The Weekly Popper open.substack.com/pub/heatherawa…

I am pleased to announce I have joined the Scientific Advisory Council of the 1914–1918 Heritage Mission for the UNESCO Funerary and memory sites of the First World War (Western Front). linkedin.com/posts/pilgrima…

@Sophie_1WWTours One of the most somber and emotionally evocative places along the Western Front.

1/4: To our Canadian friends, you know that landmark on your $20 bill? Here it is in real life. Taken from our last private tour, here are 3 generations of a Canadian family standing proudly together at the Vimy Ridge Memorial & honestly, it doesn't get more powerful than that.

@masaccio60 @ThisDayInWWI @andyblanck1 It’s a lovely medal!

OK everyone, who knows what this medal is? It’s very small, it has a Bersagliere soldier on one side and an oak leaf motif on the other, with the words Guerra di Rendenzione. Google image searches come up with nothing. Any ideas? @andyblanck1

As a pilgrimage site, The 'Devil Dog' fountain in Belleau, France has captivated me for years, and I'm thrilled to share what I've uncovered through years of research. My latest article on the fountain has been published by Marine Corps History usmcu.edu/Outreach/Marin…

@AndrewRawson11 When was this published? The cover is lovely!

@prof_warfield A good article. I have the TocH pilgrims guide and some of the Michelin ones.

@JamesT12465 @zach_ota The bottles are sold in the museum across the street.

@prof_warfield @zach_ota Where did Zach get the bottle? Myself and several other retired Marines that all served together over the last 30 years recently went to the battlefield and fountain and brought home some of the water. Would like to get some of those display bottles.

1/ Thanks @zach_ota for sharing these photos. This is a glass vessel created to hold water from the “Devil Dog” fountain. The vessel is engraved with 1914-1918 to commemorate the years of WWI. The words Belleau Wood are also engraved,

@AnneEBailey1 Stunning arch!

Buried since the Roman destruction of the Hebrew capital, the ancient road once walked by thousands of pilgrims from the City of David to the Temple Mount is now open to the public. Carved in stone, sealed under Jerusalem for millennia, it has been carefully uncovered step by step. Israelis can now walk the same stones as their forefathers. 📸 @cityofdavid
