JOSP Fest: Journey of the Spirit Festival

Today's ZENIT news report has pointed me in the direction of this - the "First International Festival of Journeys of the Spirit". Below is the content of the page dedicated to the theme of this festival, which combines professional exhibition with a spiritual theme.

The Theme
“Sing also now, not just to enjoy the rest, as to relieve the fatigue. Sing as a traveller. Sing but walk. Sing to alleviate the difficulty of the march, but don’t indulge laziness singing. Sing and walk.” (Saint Augustine)



“Sing and walk” is the theme of the first edition of Josp Fest because it accurately describes the pilgrimage experience. Walking is a sphere of life, and together with song, it can help to overcome the obstacles faced during a journey, especially when shared with others.
