What some called &#8220;a life-changing experience&#8221;, was organized by the Marian Center of Figueira, and accompanied by members of the community.

The Oca is a building inspired in the original South-American Indigenous huts of Amazonia, which, in Figueira, is used for Vigils of Prayer. With these characteristics, this wood turned out to be the best site to begin the route. Forming a circle, they conducted an attunement that anchored a group energy that would soon manifest itself in each step taken, in each place visited, in each heart touched.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">Step by step to the Belfry<\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fraterinternacional.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/foto_181111_peregrinacao_bh_cmf3.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-94441 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fraterinternacional.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/foto_181111_peregrinacao_bh_cmf3-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fraterinternacional.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/foto_181111_peregrinacao_bh_cmf3-200x112.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.fraterinternacional.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/foto_181111_peregrinacao_bh_cmf3-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.fraterinternacional.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/foto_181111_peregrinacao_bh_cmf3-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.fraterinternacional.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/foto_181111_peregrinacao_bh_cmf3-600x337.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.fraterinternacional.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/foto_181111_peregrinacao_bh_cmf3.jpg 690w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>Guided by monastics of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fraterinternacional.org\/en\/grace-mercy-order\/\">Grace Mercy Order<\/a>, and trying to maintain the energy built in the group attunement, they continued the path in silence, in their rhythm and tempo, each one gradually took their steps to the belfry, a few meters from the Portal of Peace of the Hill of Apparitions of the Marian Center.
