The requirement to win the indulgence this interjubilar year is to make a pilgrimage in a group of three or more people
The Ministry of Tourism and Culture, together with the Royal and Illustrious Brotherhood of the Holy and Vera Cruz de Caravaca, prepares a mass mailing of information to 23,000 parishes throughout Spain with the aim of strengthening the promotion of Caravaca de la Cruz as a center of pilgrimage and spirituality also during this interjubilar year.
This was announced today by counselor Miriam Guardiola in the presentation held at the Episcopal Palace, which was attended by the Bishop of the Diocese of Cartagena, José Manuel Lorca, and the elder sister of the Brotherhood of the Most Holy and Vera Cruz, María del Carmen López.
The broadcast will take place in mid-April and the message will be sent that during the interjubile years it is also possible to win the privilege of the plenary indulgences in Caravaca de la Cruz.
The only requirement is to make a pilgrimage in a group of three or more people to the basilica of Vera Cruz.
The material to be included in the poster (poster, triptych and invitation) will provide information on the conditions to win the Jubilee, relevant dates, Jubilee itineraries with catechesis, Masses and special moments of prayer, as well as links of interest.
The head of Tourism said that "we hope that the action will have a huge impact in the Catholic field of our country, among fraternities, brotherhoods, religious colleges, specialized bookstores and travel agencies."
"We are going to invite the parish priests to come again with their parishioners to continue discovering the religious heritage of Caravaca, the Camino de Levante and the rest of the regional sacred offer, such as the Cathedral of Murcia, the Santa Espina de Mula, the Sanctuary of Santa Eulalia de Totana, the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Hope of Calasparra, Lorca and its religious embroideries, the Cathedral of Santa María la Mayor in Cartagena or Santa Ana del Monte in Jumilla, among others ".
The Ministry has already carried out similar direct marketing actions at the end of 2016 and the beginning of 2017, which had a great impact on the arrival of parishioners to Caravaca de la Cruz during the Jubilee Year, when the Basilica de la Cruz hosted more than half a million of pilgrims, of which 16,000 arrived on foot.
"The ultimate goal of the regional government is to keep the influx of pilgrims stable, after the last Jubilee Year and awaiting the arrival of the next one, in 2024, ensuring the dynamism and development of the region, the boost of employment, enriching trade and the hospitality industry and enhancing local synergies, "said Guardiola.
Additional reinforcement to religious tourism
In parallel, and to reinforce the diffusion of the product, during this month of February the Tourism Institute will once again activate the communication campaign at the national level 'Legado Vivo', in which the religious offer and Caravaca de la Cruz will be present.
The broadcast will be made through the national television channels, so that the announcements will appear in prime time slots, and in radio stations.
This action will be coordinated with other promotional activities such as familiarization trips and presence in fairs, as well as cultural, religious, nature and leisure events programmed by the Tourism Institute and the Camino de la Cruz Foundation for the course of 2019.
