To be a pilgrim: a new film traces the journeys of two pilgrims to Lourdes with the Order’s British Association
Lourdes, 2015
The film follows the daily lives of two pilgrims who come to Lourdes every year with the British Association of the Order. They are characters of strong contrast – in age, gender, background, religion. It was filmed in Lourdes and in their home environments. The film is their story, but that of every pilgrim, as in the unfolding can be found the reasons for going on pilgrimage – as fundamental for the protagonists as for all who take part.
About

The mission of the Order of Malta is inspired by its tradition of ‘Tuitio Fidei et Obsequium Pauperum', to assist the poor and the sick, and bear witness to the Christian faith.

The Sovereign Order of Malta is a sovereign subject of international law. The Order - which is based in Rome, in via Condotti - has its own Government, an independent magistracy, and bilateral diplomatic relations with 110 countries.

The Order of St John of Jerusalem is one of the oldest institutions of Western and Christian civilisation. Present in Palestine in around 1048, it is a lay religious Order, traditionally of military, chivalrous, noble nature.
