Segovia - Tomb of St. John of the Cross

Sunday, August 14th - We made a day trip to Segovia, site of an ancient Roman aqueduct, another beautiful cathedral and a Disney-like castle (Alcazar).

In the afternoon, we made our way down to the tomb of St. John of the Cross (Santo Juan de la Cruz). It was amazing to celebrate Sunday Mass in the chapel of his tomb. We even had another pilgrim group from Syracuse, NY join us.

Like St. John of the Cross, we are called to seek God and even find him in the darkest times of our lives.

The road to Madrid continues... World Youth Day here we come!
