They can be occasion’s for real spiritual conversion and refreshment. I commend MAGI Pilgrimages in making practical contributions to enable this to happen in Australia." Archbishop Christopher Prowse Archbishop of Canberra and Goulburn "I have only recently returned from a wonderful 14 day trip with Magi Pilgrimages to Portugal, Spain, France, and Italy. It was an ambitious itinerary and the group consisted of nearly 50 people but, thanks to the excellent management of our tour guides and the great spirit of our group, we were able to experience many blessings at Fatima, Lourdes, Assisi, and Rome, as well as visiting other places of historical and spiritual significance, including Lisbon, Segovia, Loyola, Avignon, and Venice. It was a truly memorable time and I think we all returned to Australia refreshed in body, mind, and spirit. Thank you, Magi Pilgrimages." Very Rev Richard Waddell, VG Vicar General of the Personal Ordinariate of Our Lady of the Southern Cross, Australia Dear Friends A Catholic pilgrimage is a journey or a search of religious or spiritual significance. Pilgrimages became part of the Catholic tradition in the fourth century, when Christians wanted to travel to the places that were part of Jesus’ life or to the graves of the martyr’s and various saints. The richness of our faith lies in the fact that we can touch and feel the elements of our faith! Magi Pilgrimages endeavours to help pilgrims have the same spiritual encounter with Jesus and deepen their Christian faith leading to a lifelong change, but in a more organized, comfortable and hassle-free way. This helps our pilgrims to meet Christ in their own unique way, as our name suggests, pilgrims are MAGIs, - Travelling to See Christ. The year 2017 had hundreds of pilgrims travelling through our various tours, across multiple destinations like Israel, Jordan, Portugal, Spain, Italy, France, Croatia, India etc. In 2018, we continue our tradition to make pilgrimages accessible and affordable to all pilgrims. With newer destinations, multiple departure dates and increasingly reliable travel partners we are excited to bring you our best. Magi Pilgrimages 2018 brochure is our invitation to you, to step out in hope with Magi, to see Christ! May, this year bring you the blessed encounter with the Lord.

  • Powstanie Warszawskie GB Wyd VI 2019.Indd
    WARSAW Uprising go2warsaw.pl Warsaw Uprising 1944 The Warsaw Uprising broke out at 5:00 pm on Tuesday, August 1, 1944 (code named ‘W-Hour’ as in “Wolność” being Polish for freedom). It was one of the most fundamental yet dramatic events in the city’s history. Anticipated for a few days, it lasted over 2 months. The Insurgents wanted to liberate the capital city from the Hitler’s occupation before the entry of the Soviet Army and thus ensure Poland’s sovereignty after the end of the war. Although numerous, the insurgent forces had to face a regular, fully militarized German army without relevant weaponry. Sadly, being denied any assistance from the allies, they were doomed to fail. The support they hoped for never came. Clashed between two mighty armies, the Soviets and the Germans, the Uprising slowly bled out. The looming destiny of Warsaw, known as the ‘Paris of the East’ before the war, was fulfilled by Heinrich Himmler’s order saying: ‘Every citizen is to be killed. No prisoners are to be taken. Warsaw has to be razed to the ground. Let it be a horrifying example for the whole Europe.’ Zamkowy Square (Archive of the City of Warsaw, photo: Zdzisław Marcinkowski) Warsaw Uprising 1944 Grójecka Street. Capitulation. The civilians leave the city. (Warsaw Rising Museum, photo: unknown author) The Polish capital city was devastated in nearly 85% and its residents were taken to transition and POW’s camps.

Bringing history to life The Rise and Fall of Hitler’s Germany A journey that takes you from Berlin to Auschwitz to Warsaw, focused on the devastating legacy of the Holocaust, the bombing raids, and the last battles. Featuring best-selling author & historian Alexandria Richie, DPhil Dear World Traveler, For several years now, it has been my ultimate pleasure to welcome guests from The National WWII Museum Travel on tour with me throughout Germany and Poland on the educational program, The Rise and Fall of Hitler’s Germany. Both Berlin ©Frank Aymami. and Warsaw, the two capital cities of the countries we visit, have been the subjects of my books. Faust’s Metropolis: A History of Berlin dives into the role of this city as a crucible of social, political, and economic transformation—both positive and negative. In Warsaw 1944: Hitler, Himmler, and the Warsaw Uprising, my focus was more defined with an emphasis on what was perhaps Warsaw’s most transformative year. I invite you to join me on a journey back in time, to explore the origins of World War II. We meet in Germany where the early seeds of war were planted in private meeting rooms and in raucous public stadiums, and we uncover the Nazi’s sinister plans to remake the world. As we travel deep into Poland, the strategically thought out evil is clearly revealed, and the tragedy of Nazi ambition becomes strikingly apparent. Former prisons, concentration camps, and rebuilt cities are the physical reminders of the suffering brought by the Third Reich.
