Mountains of Hope – Crossing the steps of Mary Magdalene

Mountains of Hope – Crossing the steps of Mary Magdalene 9am 27 April 2026

This walk is a solidarity walk as pilgrimage – as a part of Mountains of Hope – a global invitation to walk in solidarity with communities along the Lebanon Mountain Trail between 3 April – 3 May. Mountains of Hope is a collaboration between the Lebanon Mountain Trail Association (LMTA) and Kinetika (UK), alongside multiple participants.

In Spring 2024 InspiralLondon Director, Charlie Fox, walked the first five stages of a new walking trail, linking sites of worship and pilgrimage for Mary Magdalene.

The second part of this trail begins a gentle ascent to the Grotte or Cave where Mary Magdalene is said to have lived for the second part of her life, having made the journey from the coast to Massilia near to Saint-Maximin-la-Sainte-Baume.

Walking Stage 6 of this trail continues the link between walking, pilgrimage, and peaceful reflection, as an act of solidarity with the walkers and pilgrims who travel the Lebanon Mountain Trail, despite all the current despair and violence.
