Islamic pilgrimages exhibit encourages interreligious dialogue

ROME (CNS)

With a new exhibit on Islamic pilgrimages, Rome's Gregorian University is hoping to further interreligious dialogue. Organized by Jesuit priests of the Sant'Andrea al Quirinale Association in collaboration with Italian Islamic groups, the display at the university offers a look at Islam's holy cities of Mecca and Medina through photographs and personal pilgrimage accounts.

Bishop Michael Fitzgerald, secretary of the Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue, said that in Holy Year 2000, when many Christians are going on pilgrimages, the exhibit reminds people "that there are other pilgrims in the world."
