After the extremely successful journeys home in 2011 and 2012, for the third time in a row the World Council of Arameans [Syriacs] (WCA) and its Member Federations provide 100 Arameans from all over the world a unique experience to relive their childhood and bring up memories with fellow people in the place that gave birth to them and/or their (grand)parents. This year the memorable event will take place from 30 April till 7 May 2013.
For 30-40 years, most Diaspora Arameans have not returned, let alone celebrated traditional feasts in their homeland. In celebrating Passion Week and Easter, participants can enrich themselves with the lifetime chance to experience a cultural and spiritual pilgrimage to Southeast Turkey, including Urfa (Urhoy), Harran, Diyarbakir (Omid ), Midyat, Mor Augin, Mardin and more historical places. For most Arameans who originate from this ancient region, these Journeys Home have turned out to be no less the experience than the pilgrimage to the Holy City of Jerusalem in Israel!
