Excerpt from With the Russian Pilgrims to Jerusalem
The journey of the Russian peasants to Jerusalem has never been described before in any language, not even in Russian. Yet it is the most Significant thing in the Russian life of to-day. In the story lies a great national epic.
The adventure of which I tell was unique and splendid, a thing of a lifetime. Whatever happens to me on my wanderings over the world in the coming years, I have little doubt that even when I am old and gray I Shall look back to it as the most wonderful thing I ever found on the road, the most extraordinary procession I ever stepped into. It has also been a great discovery. Jerusalem is a place of disillusion for the tourist who would like to feel himself a pilgrim, but here in the peasant world is a new road and indeed a new Jerusalem.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. Embark on an extraordinary voyage alongside a group of Russian peasants as they undertake a pilgrimage to Jerusalem in the early 20th century. This book delves into the heart of Russian spirituality and the enduring allure of the Holy Land, offering a unique and captivating perspective on faith, devotion, and the human experience. At a time when Jerusalem attracted affluent tourists seeking exotic sights, these devout peasants embarked on arduous journeys, often walking thousands of miles, to reach the sacred city. Driven by unwavering faith and a deep yearning for spiritual fulfillment, they endured hardship and discomfort, their hearts set on reaching the land where Jesus Christ lived and died. The author's vivid descriptions transport readers onto the crowded pilgrim boat, into the bustling streets of Jerusalem, and along the dusty roads leading to holy sites. Through conversations with the pilgrims, we gain insight into their beliefs, motivations, and the profound impact of the pilgrimage on their lives. The book explores themes of sacrifice, redemption, and the search for meaning in a world often marked by suffering and disillusionment. Ultimately, this book reveals that the true essence of pilgrimage lies not in reaching a physical destination, but in the transformative journey of the soul. By immersing ourselves in the experiences of these Russian pilgrims, we gain a deeper understanding of the enduring power of faith and the universal human quest for connection to something greater than ourselves.
