Interreligious Offerings for Coping with the Pandemic in Wéris

Author: Yael Dansac

Place: Wéris, Belgium

Date: 8 December 2022

Context: During the COVID-19 Pandemic, Wéris megalithic landscape in south-east Belgium became a place of pilgrimage and a spiritual shrine. Visitors leaved ribbons with messages attached to trees, candles devoted to the Virgin Mary accompanied by prayers writing in paper, and circles made of tree branches located next to megaliths.
