Pilgrimage<\/em> is returning to BBC Two and iPlayer this spring with a new 3×1-hour season.<\/p>\n

Pilgrimage: The Road through Portugal<\/em> (w.t.) takes seven well-known personalities of differing faiths and beliefs on a personal journey along the northern route of the Fatima Way in Portugal.<\/p>\n

The seven celebrity pilgrims taking part in Pilgrimage: The Road through Portugal<\/em> (w.t.) are actor Su Pollard, who was raised Church of England; Jewish actress Rita Simons; Pentecostal Born-Again Christian Shane Lynch of Boyzone fame; reality TV star and influencer Vicky Pattison, who is agnostic; Bobby Seagull, a practicing Catholic, maths whizz and TV personality; Nabil Abdulrashid, a comedian and practicing Muslim; and Paralympian skier Millie Knight, who is non-practicing Church of England.<\/p>\n

For the first time, the celebrity pilgrims are on a deadline: they need to arrive in time for a major celebration that culminates with a night-time candlelit vigil attended by nearly 70,000 pilgrims who have traveled from across the world to celebrate the story of the apparitions of the Virgin Mary.<\/p>\n

Daisy Scalchi, BBC’s head of religion and ethics, said: \u201cPilgrimage<\/em> is a unique series, using travelogue as a way to explore conversations about faith and belief from a variety of perspectives, with the spirit of curiosity, respect and understanding. We see viewers\u2019 appetite for programs about belief, morality and spirituality is as strong as ever, and Pilgrimage<\/em> provides an extraordinary opportunity to bring these discussions to a wide audience.\u201d<\/p>\n

Caroline Matthews, executive producer and CEO of CTVC, said: \u201cThe power of Pilgrimage<\/em> is that you never know what experiences the celebrity pilgrims will have on their journey, and this new series is no exception! Returning with a brilliant new cast, they physically dig deep, talk faith and ponder life\u2019s big questions. As ever, stripped of their creature comforts, there is strong camaraderie, tears and a healthy dollop of humor to see them through their epic journey.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
