This initiative, proposed by the Vatican Congregation for the Oriental Churches and the Franciscan Custody of the Holy Land, reminds the faithful that the Holy Land shrines must be preserved.

“The Holy Land needs the support of the faithful to worthily maintain the evangelical shrines, welcome pilgrims from all over the world, and support the Christian community with pastoral, charitable, educational and social works,” the collection´s organizers said in a message.
