Jordan Catholic Church Commemorates Elijah Shrine Day
The Catholic Church in Jordan celebrated the pilgrimage day to the shrine of Prophet Elijah "St. Elias" in Ajloun, which is one of the main Christian pilgrimage sites in the kingdom, with a festive mass led by Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa, Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem. A large number of priests and worshippers from various parts of Jordan, along with guests from outside the kingdom, participated in the mass. The celebration highlighted the historical and biblical significance of the site, emphasizing the shrine of "St. Elias" as part of Jordan’s religious and national heritage, and inviting worshippers to each find their own mountain where they meet with God. The event underscored that Prophet Elijah remained faithful to God despite persecution and rejection of modern currents, and that God always accompanied and supported him. Organizers affirmed that the site is among the most important Christian pilgrimage locations in Jordan, with festivities that bolster the kingdom's status as a religious and tourist destination.
