00:00On the medieval pathways of the majestic Austrian and Swiss Alps.
00:07Wow, look at that.
00:09Seven celebrities are making an epic pilgrimage.
00:13Look at this sign.
00:14Ah!
00:15Pilger Herberger.
00:16Pilger Herberger.
00:17Pilgrimage Hostel.
00:19Among them, a pilgrim with mixed heritage.
00:22My father was born into a Jewish family,
00:25but I'm told I was christened, obviously I can't remember.
00:28A Muslim who's doing things her own way.
00:30I have been through periods of my life where I didn't lose faith, I gave it up.
00:36And a practicing Catholic.
00:38I've been saying, show me a sign, just let me know you're there, let me know you're there.
00:42And funny enough, I'm now going on a pilgrimage.
00:46That is insane, isn't it?
00:49Do you want to look at that view, Helen?
00:51Not really, thanks.
00:53Their final destination is Einseelden Abbey, with its revered 15th century Black Madonna,
00:59which attracts almost a million pilgrims and visitors every year.
01:04I wasn't expecting to have my breath taken away.
01:08For 12 days and over 300 kilometers.
01:12We are twice as high as Mount Snowden.
01:14Wow.
01:15There'll be challenges.
01:17Fingers crossed, none of us die and we all make it.
01:20Yeah.
01:21Realizations.
01:22I feel like I'm plugged into something really special.
01:26You're someone who makes me believe more.
01:28And surprises.
01:29I ain't going over a spider.
01:31With this stroke, you're becoming our brother.
01:35I never sit down with a mate and say, okay, let's talk about faith.
01:39We have killed, we have maimed, we've done terrible things to one another.
01:43But will they embrace this journey of a lifetime?
01:47I wonder how far we are from the border.
01:51We've not got too long left.
01:53How long?
01:54You don't want to know.
01:56Tucked away in the northeast of Switzerland, in the rolling foothills of the Alpstein Massif,
02:07is the region of Appenzeller, where old customs and traditions are still part of everyday life.
02:14Ah, Switzerland.
02:16Yes.
02:17Mountains.
02:18Fresh Swiss air.
02:21The group spent the night in the small town of Appenzeller.
02:25This is gorgeous, isn't it?
02:28What are the Swiss known for?
02:29What's their thing?
02:30Cheese and watches.
02:31And being very known about the watches.
02:33Functional, being on time, being neutral.
02:36The pilgrims are nine days into their journey, and are now making their way to Urnesh,
02:4313 kilometres away, a town known for its farming heritage.
02:47You know that thing when you start out a little bit fast?
02:51You might have to overtake me.
02:53We're cresting the hill now.
02:55This is the yoga breathing, restyled for pilgrim work.
03:00The group started their 300km pilgrimage in Austria eight days ago.
03:09They travelled west on foot and by bus, and crossed the Alberg Massif,
03:14before heading to the border with Switzerland.
03:17From here, the ancient Catholic Camino will wind through the foothills of the Swiss Alps,
03:23before reaching Rappersville on Lake Zurich.
03:27A push-up to the Etzel Pass will bring them to their journey's end,
03:31Einseelden Abbey, a celebrated pilgrim destination with a remarkable history
03:37that goes back over a thousand years.
03:47The group is following the Lush Camino,
03:49and after three kilometres, Jay McGuinness spots something a little different.
03:54Looks like we have an opportunity to barf us, Mike.
03:58Ooh!
03:59Barefoot walking is a chance for pilgrims and hikers
04:02to connect with the textures and sensations of nature.
04:06If you're feeling up for it, we can take off our shoes and socks
04:09and wade quite a distance down there.
04:11Will you walk in the water?
04:12That's it.
04:13That looks filthy.
04:14Yeah.
04:15And I do not see how it's going to lead me to enlightenment.
04:19Steph Reid is worried about her prosthetic.
04:22Yeah, I don't think I can get my artificial foot wet.
04:25It'll get damaged if it gets wet.
04:26Ooh!
04:27Oh!
04:28Is it cold?
04:29It's quite squelchy.
04:33Oh, my days!
04:34The squelch.
04:35Urgh!
04:36That's like the bottom of a plug hole in a sink.
04:40Ooh!
04:41Squelch!
04:42Oh!
04:43There's something bubbling!
04:44I'm feeling quite overwhelmed by fear now, Harry,
04:47that there's a creature in here.
04:49I think you should go as our youngest, healthiest member.
04:52Go on.
04:53Go on, man.
04:54Go on, man.
04:55Oh, go on, yeah.
04:56Death would say go on.
04:57Winnie.
04:58I've never been so happy at opting out.
05:01Nellifer, how are you doing?
05:03Surviving, my darling.
05:04Surviving.
05:05All my days now.
05:06There's a spider there.
05:07There's a spider?
05:08Okay.
05:09You're done.
05:10You're done.
05:11What happened?
05:12You came short.
05:13I'm going over a spider.
05:14Where's the spider?
05:15Come on.
05:16Harry, is it gone?
05:17Seriously?
05:18I'm not disqualified.
05:19No, I pretty much made it.
05:20You're at the end.
05:21Okay.
05:22Jay comes over the finish line.
05:24Go, Jay.
05:25And now, Jeff, the mud has been washed off as his sins have been cleansed from his soul.
05:32Nellifer.
05:33Woo!
05:34And once more unto the breach, Harry.
05:38Yay!
05:39Woo!
05:40My pants are falling down.
05:42I'm a mess right now.
05:43This pilgrimage is like taking it out of me, you know?
05:47Now they're out of the ditch.
05:49Oh!
05:50And the water isn't so deep.
05:52Steph's keen to join in.
05:54But there's a reason Helen Lederer is keeping her boots on.
05:59Is it cold?
06:00Do you know what?
06:01It's actually quite satisfying.
06:02Is it?
06:03Do you not fancy it, Helen?
06:04No.
06:05You don't want to get the bunion out?
06:06No!
06:07Try about my bunion.
06:08That's what it's all about.
06:09Free the bunion.
06:10Free it.
06:11It's quite soothing.
06:12Soothing?
06:13Yeah.
06:14For Harry Clark, it's a taste of freedom.
06:16My mum would not let me do this in a million years.
06:19I think you need to get out more, Harry.
06:24Harry got told.
06:25Yeah, literally, you know?
06:27Steph, yeah, is a little bully, you know that.
06:31I think this is the end of the barefoot walk, guys.
06:33I might need to borrow your shoulder, actually.
06:35Yep.
06:36I'm just trying to think, how am I going to do this?
06:37Shall I take your sticks?
06:38If I can give you that...
06:39Is there anywhere we can wash our feet?
06:41Let me just have a think.
06:42I wouldn't say it's clean, but it'll do.
06:45It'll do.
06:47Deliso, can you pass me my shoe?
06:48Left or right?
06:49Left, please.
06:50Left?
06:51Yep.
06:52I'm just here as a support.
06:53We're like children.
06:54As ever.
06:55I'm not going to feel bad about not doing it.
06:57Sorry.
06:58We're just...
06:59Just here as a support, really.
07:00Am I being helpful?
07:01I'm so sorry.
07:02No.
07:03We're in.
07:04We're balanced.
07:05Have you ever put socks on a grown woman?
07:06On a grown woman, this is the first time.
07:08There we go.
07:09Thank you very much.
07:10Amazing.
07:11OK.
07:12Done.
07:13Let's go this way.
07:14Lead the way.
07:15I think the best part was you dressing my feet at the end of it.
07:20You get close in very surprising ways upon pilgrim.
07:25I know.
07:26Today, the pilgrim's last stop on their Camino is Ornash.
07:36In spring, farmers take their cattle to higher alpine pastures and bring them back down to
07:41the town in autumn, when they have a cattle show to select the best breeds.
07:46I mean, the whole town's out.
07:48Yeah.
07:49Ooh, what a loud blue.
07:52In the enclosure, 30 local farmers have each shown 17 of their finest cows.
07:59For Deliso Chaponda and Nalifah Hedayat, it's a first.
08:05Have you ever seen anything like this before, Deliso?
08:08I've never seen anything like this.
08:10I mean, I've been to markets where there are lots of animals, but this is much grander.
08:15And there's so much excitement.
08:17People have come round to see it.
08:18This feels very unique.
08:20I'm trying to work out the ones with the Peter Pan hats on.
08:23Yeah.
08:24Are they the same as the ones with the red jackets?
08:26What's the difference?
08:27They're wearing Appenzell's centuries-old traditional costumes.
08:31Farmers and herdsmen in red jackets and farmhands in the green hats.
08:38Some movement.
08:39The cows are coming.
08:40Ooh!
08:41Look at the bell!
08:42The size of the bell!
08:44Oh, my lord!
08:45With the competition over, the farmers start leading their cows home,
08:50some of them traditionally decorated with bells and garlands.
08:55Look at that one's nutsack.
08:56Yes, the bottom nutsack, they're udders.
08:58It needs to be milked.
08:59Look how veiny they are.
09:00They look like they're about to pot, don't they?
09:02I didn't actually know cows could move that fast.
09:04Yeah, look at them go!
09:06What makes a cow the best?
09:07Best looking, biggest udders.
09:09The best of every aspect.
09:10The tastiest milk.
09:12Oh, they're singing as well.
09:15They're calling the cows.
09:16Look, with the cigar!
09:17The farmer with the cigar.
09:18That's a power move right there.
09:21Woo!
09:22You know, in South Africa, if I wanted to marry you, I would give you lobola, which is like cows.
09:33So how many cows would I be worth?
09:35I think you'd probably get like 70 cows.
09:3870?
09:39A lot of cows.
09:40Is that good?
09:41You're a foreigner, you're intelligent, you've got a lot of, yeah, you're getting 70 cows.
09:44There's an app which helps you calculate.
09:46There's an app to see how many cows.
09:48That's, that's, of course.
09:53These are all females, right?
09:54Yeah.
09:55So a male cow is a bull, that's math.
09:58I never knew there weren't male cows.
10:00This is an education for Harry Clarke.
10:03This whole pilgrimage being an education for me, I'll tell you that for a fact.
10:06As the day comes to a close, the pilgrims head to their overnight accommodation, a restored Appenzull farmhouse.
10:19Look at this pretty place.
10:22Did anyone else find that cow festival a really moving experience?
10:27Harry.
10:28It's been raining for much of the day.
10:31Oh, somewhere not wet.
10:33Did we know how many bedrooms?
10:36We don't.
10:37Shall we go up?
10:38Let's go, let's have a little look.
10:39Oh my gosh.
10:40Oh, wow.
10:41Absolutely lovely.
10:45Yeah, this is vibes-y, man.
10:47Oh, I could move in.
10:49This is beautiful.
10:52Roomies.
10:53I know, our first time.
10:54It's my first time.
10:56I'm actually really excited about this and we've got a, we've got a good room.
11:00Oh, I haven't even...
11:01Oh, this is good.
11:03Oh, this is good.
11:10The pilgrims are cooking for themselves tonight and Geoff and Nellifer have taken charge.
11:16What even is this green thing?
11:18That's a courgette.
11:19I have never eaten a courgette in my life.
11:22Harry's a stranger to the kitchen.
11:24Oh, man.
11:25This chef and stuff's difficult, man.
11:26Well done, Harry.
11:27Why is that making me cry?
11:28If you cut any onion, it will make you cry, really.
11:29Has anyone got a pair of goggles?
11:30And he's particular about what he eats.
11:31Two, four, six, eight, ten.
11:32I've got ten nuggets.
11:33Get your tray out for your nuggets.
11:34Is that oven on, yeah?
11:35We're nearly done now.
11:36So we've all got glasses of water and wine glasses.
11:38I think we're ready to eat.
11:39Right, guys.
11:40This is the chicken one.
11:41Wow.
11:42Wow.
11:43That would be awesome.
11:44That would be awesome.
11:45I would love that.
11:46But Harry's missing because he's sorting his nuggets out.
11:48That's what I'm saying.
11:49I'm going to get your tray out for your nuggets.
11:50Is that oven on, yeah?
11:51We're nearly done now.
11:52So we've all got glasses of water and wine glasses.
11:54I think we're ready to eat.
11:55Right, guys.
11:56This is the chicken one.
11:57Wow.
11:58That is the veggie one.
11:59Do you think, because you're the fantastic chefs, we should do a little grace or whatever the
12:04word is that you...
12:05Maybe, what do you think?
12:07Definitely the stew grace.
12:08I would love that.
12:09But Harry's missing because he's sorting his nuggets out.
12:11Steph, would you do it?
12:12It would be awesome if you let us, actually.
12:13Me?
12:14Yeah, it would be great.
12:15Is everyone going to clap?
12:17My cheesy nuggets.
12:18Steph is going to do a special thing.
12:21Everyone ready?
12:22It's super cheesy, but can we hold hands over here?
12:24Only because, you know, it's a nice shed.
12:26I just want to hold my hand, Dave.
12:27Yeah, that's it.
12:28Steph.
12:29Dearest Lord, thank you for this food.
12:32Thank you for these friends.
12:34And we ask that you bless this food into and out of our bodies.
12:37Amen.
12:38Amen.
12:39Well, have the tea, everyone.
12:40I know.
12:41In and out of the body.
12:42People always miss the out of the body, and I think it's equally important.
12:44So, in and out of the body.
12:46In and out, yes.
12:47Love it.
12:48It tastes very good.
12:50Mmm.
12:51This is so delicious.
12:52Yes.
12:53A little check-in.
12:54How do you feel that your faith or your relationship with that part of your life is...
12:59Has it changed?
13:00Or is everyone...
13:01Just quickly.
13:02Does anyone want a chicken nugget for us?
13:03We'll get back to the actual question.
13:06That's what I'm saying.
13:07They're really good.
13:08I'm going to eat them all.
13:09Fair one.
13:10I feel like my faith has expanded.
13:13I've prayed for all of you at different parts of the journey.
13:16I hope that's not weird for you guys.
13:17Yeah, that's lovely.
13:18It is weird, but it's lovely.
13:19So, for me, I feel like, before I started the pilgrimage, there was a distance between
13:27me and my faith, quite a lot of anger, and honestly, mistrust, suspicion.
13:35As I'm sitting here today, I have started to really interrogate that and work on that,
13:40and ask honestly, what does being a Muslim mean to me?
13:45We would not be talking about faith if there was a single answer.
13:48Right.
13:49It would be done.
13:50Yeah.
13:51Thank you for saying that, because you are our head girl of faith.
13:54You know, the prefect of faith, because you are so sure, which is inspirational.
13:59So, thank you for allowing that.
14:03Geoff, do you feel like anything's changed in you?
14:06How are you feeling as a pilgrim?
14:08So, I think my journey is not a religious one.
14:11Maybe not necessarily a spiritual one.
14:13I can see the benefit of taking time out of our lives to come and do something that
14:19you might even consider selfish.
14:21Maybe we'd refer to it now as pilgrimage time, where you have your own inner sort of pilgrimage,
14:26bit of fresh air, bit of conversation.
14:29Do you think that you will benefit from this experience and be stronger somehow for other people and yourself?
14:37Yeah, that's without doubt.
14:40I think the most amazing thing about my pilgrimage so far is that I'm surrounded by people who, in my mind,
14:46is, like, at that level above me.
14:48Like, I don't need anyone to say, oh, no, no, we're not, no, we're not.
14:51Yeah, you are.
14:52Basically, shut up.
14:53Yeah, you are.
14:54And, like, for me, I feel like now already I'm such a better person and I can't wait to get home to be that person.
14:59You have been an absolute joy to pilgrim with and I love your joy and I hope you never lose it.
15:05That's the love.
15:06Yeah.
15:07That is love.
15:08Yeah.
15:09Like, you give that as a gift to us, like, it's great.
15:10It's just wonderful.
15:11It's joy.
15:12God, probably.
15:13Well, cheers to the pilgrimage.
15:14Cheers, everyone.
15:15Cheers, all.
15:16We're about to go into our final push.
15:18Is it another four months or how long have we got?
15:24After dinner, the group starts getting ready for bed.
15:28Are you sure it's the shampoo you give me?
15:30My ears aren't going to fall out, is it?
15:33Traitor's traded again.
15:35I hope so, anyway, because I've been using that the whole time.
15:39I've wanked it all round my ball bags.
15:41Oh, you ain't, actually, have you?
15:45It was wonderful.
15:46Wonderful, wonderful dinner.
15:47Yeah, I agree.
15:48For me, it's about the human connections.
15:51I'm not someone who envelops themselves in nature.
15:54I'm not walking barefoot through a trough.
15:58That's not how Deliso is coming out of the shell,
16:03but having a chat at 11pm and laughing, that works for me.
16:09Yeah.
16:17It's morning and the pilgrims wake up to clear skies.
16:29Don't do a pilgrimage unless you're okay with being a little bit smelly.
16:34Do you feel like your vanity standards have lowered and will stay lowered at the end?
16:38I had no idea I could go this long.
16:41It's going to be a significant day, particularly for Helen.
16:46I'm quite excited but also a bit apprehensive today because we're going to go to two villages,
16:51which were the only villages where Jewish people were allowed to live in Switzerland.
17:00What is it?
17:01What is?
17:02From the 13th century for over 200 years, expulsions and pogroms against Jewish people in Switzerland
17:12resulted in their banishment in 1491.
17:18People going left?
17:19Yeah.
17:20Most of the Jewish population fled, but it's known that by 1776, Lengnau and Endingen were two of the places in Switzerland that Jews were allowed to live.
17:32It's quite a pretty little village, isn't it?
17:36Welcome to Lengnau.
17:39Thanks for having us.
17:41Esther Geersberger is chair of an association set up to preserve the Jewish history of these villages.
17:46Helen.
17:47Jay.
17:48Jay.
17:49Nice to meet you.
17:50Nice meeting you all.
17:51It's great you're here because it's for me a special occasion as well.
17:55Although I'm living in Zurich, my mother comes from Endingen and I grew up very liberal.
18:01My mother is Jewish, but my father is a Christian and I got married with a Catholic.
18:06There was a time when there were more Jews living in, especially in Endingen than in Lengnau.
18:13They had their rights, but of course they didn't have all the rights.
18:17They could not own land, property.
18:20They could have only a few professions and they were not allowed to live in the same house as Christians.
18:30But together, many Christians and Jews found a solution.
18:34They would live in the same building, but have two front doors.
18:37So they were cheating and not only the Jews were cheating, also the Christians were cheating because they got along very well.
18:45Now I'm taking you to a double door house.
18:49Wow.
18:50One part for Christians, one part for Jews, the same house.
18:55So two doors.
18:58Here is the wall separating the two parts.
19:03You could go in here, Christian part, and go in here, the Jewish part.
19:08One family lives up here and the other one lives down here.
19:11They made it two houses.
19:14Symbolic.
19:15Exactly.
19:16This is made for a mezuzah.
19:20Tiny little written parts of the Torah, of the Jewish Bible, I'd say.
19:26And it marks every Jewish house.
19:30I like the idea of the Jewish people coming together with the Christians and just saying, look, we can live together despite what's going on elsewhere.
19:40But why Jewish people? That's what I don't get.
19:42It was anti-Semitism.
19:44Exactly.
19:45Like any sort of bigotry.
19:47You always need somebody who is guilty.
19:50And if you look different and if you were not born here, you're the one who has to be the scapegoat.
19:57Yeah.
19:59We're learning something new every day.
20:02Always, Harry. Every day is a school day.
20:03Every day is a school day.
20:05It wasn't until the mid-19th century that international pressure was put on Switzerland to grant Jews equal rights and freedom of movement.
20:14There are three family Jewish names from Lengnau. Endingen, Bloch, Wieler and Guggenheim.
20:22Wow.
20:23There are a few others, but that's almost everybody.
20:25With their newfound freedom, many Swiss Jews emigrated to the US.
20:30Among them, the grandfather of Solomon Guggenheim, founder of the world-famous Guggenheim Museum in New York.
20:38But they never, never forget their origin and they are buried in the cemetery here.
20:46Between the two villages is the Jewish cemetery, which they were allowed to create in 1750.
20:58It's still used today.
21:02How many people are buried here?
21:04About 2,700.
21:07So for yourself, you're Jewish and Christian.
21:10Yes.
21:11Would you be buried in a Jewish cemetery or a Christian cemetery?
21:15I struggled for a long time because as long as my father lived, I didn't want to show too much my Jewishness.
21:25When he died, I became a member of the Jewish religious community in Zurich.
21:30So actually, yes, I want to be buried in a Jewish cemetery.
21:35OK.
21:39Shall we have a look around?
21:40Mm.
21:42Some of these are completely illegible.
21:47I don't even know how old they'd be.
21:50The moss and the algae.
21:52Yeah, the moss just taking over.
21:56Hella, is there an afterlife in the Jewish faith?
21:59Do you know, I don't know about the afterlife.
22:02I don't think there's a heaven.
22:04I should know, shouldn't I?
22:06No, no.
22:07Do you think that there is a place called heaven?
22:10Do you know, I used to think about this a lot as a new Christian, thinking like,
22:13I don't really want to go to heaven if we're just going to sit there and play harps, like...
22:17What do you think happens from a personal perspective when you die?
22:21I don't think this is the end when we die.
22:24I think there will be something else.
22:26I think I will still be me, but in a different form.
22:29It's interesting how cautious I am in thinking, like, I'm not going...
22:32When I die, I'm not going to a building that's white or something.
22:37I'm not going to go up there and be me.
22:39I think there will be a resurrection of such.
22:42I don't ever think I'm going to be an ethereal spirit floating.
22:45Like, I'm not going to exist without a body.
22:47To the extent where sometimes I think about, I wonder what coffee would be like in heaven.
22:51Because I think it's going to be great.
22:52Did you just say you were wondering what coffee was like in heaven?
22:56I just thought I misheard that.
22:58But what a thought.
23:00Only the best, clearly.
23:02Yes, good coffee.
23:03I can't say those are orthodox views, but that's what I think.
23:05Would you have beer in heaven?
23:06Oh, yeah.
23:07Okay, great.
23:08Jesus' first miracle was wine.
23:09I bet he makes awesome beer.
23:10Yeah, we could maybe relate to that.
23:12Yeah.
23:13You obviously live a mixed religious life.
23:21So do you go to church as a Christian as well as a synagogue as a Jewish person?
23:26Yes.
23:27So you do both?
23:28I do both because my husband and I, we decided to raise our children not Catholic as my husband
23:35or not Jewish as me, but Protestant.
23:39A compromise.
23:40This may be a hard question, but you and your husband obviously have a different faith.
23:44So how would you go about, say, being buried together?
23:47Since there are more and more mixed marriages, also in Switzerland, they agree that you can
23:54be buried together.
23:56So this is now possible.
23:59I've been over to Normandy a few times, you know, France, because I was actually in the army.
24:03So when you walk through the cemeteries, you have the Jewish people and the Christians
24:08being buried next to each other, that's sort of going to be like the same thing.
24:11You and your husband and family will be able to lay rested next to each other,
24:15which is good.
24:16Yes, yes.
24:17And it seems like the more modern we're getting, the more accepting religions becoming
24:20of each other.
24:21Exactly.
24:22In Endingham, Esther takes Helen and Steph to the balcony in the synagogue, where the
24:31women would sit.
24:32So the women come all the way up here.
24:35Yes.
24:36On a Friday, on a Saturday.
24:38But they are closer to God, you know.
24:40Yes.
24:41Excellent.
24:42Steph, you like that?
24:43They can't see much if they're further back, can they?
24:49What do you think?
24:50No.
24:51It's quite hard to see.
24:52And you see, that's why, so that men wouldn't see you.
24:55So the men must not get distracted by the women.
24:58Exactly.
24:59That's the idea.
25:00So as someone who feels quite liberal as a Jewish person, how do you feel about the
25:05gender roles and have things changed at all?
25:08Well, there are much more liberal Jews than used to be.
25:13But on the other hand, I do respect tradition.
25:17I realise how important history and stories are for, yeah, for the Jews being spread all
25:29over the world for not very positive reasons.
25:36Meeting Esther has prompted Helen to share what she's discovered about members of her
25:40own family who died during the war.
25:43I was taken to Auschwitz, which I wouldn't normally...
25:45I would never go to Auschwitz.
25:46Exactly.
25:47Never.
25:48That's it.
25:49That was like standing on ghosts and it stays with me.
25:52But that experience of connection, the pain, really, of knowing firsthand your own
25:59family who were killed, but then to over-claim it, to over-personalise it when you're not
26:06central to it or directly connected is so wrong.
26:09So I have a shame that I'm not owning it.
26:11I just know I connect and I feel so sad when I allow myself to think of relatives in, you know,
26:20Therese and Staff in Auschwitz.
26:22I think knowing that you lost quite a few members of your family in the concentration camps makes you more vulnerable.
26:33It touches me.
26:34It touches me, but then my worry is that I'm over-claiming something.
26:39Still, that's what I mean with culture or with roots, you know?
26:44I mean, coming back to your roots and thinking about from where did I come?
26:50I say I'm not a Jew.
26:52And so I have avoided it until the pilgrimage.
26:56I haven't really talked about it.
26:58I think asking yourself, can I find an answer, is already going far.
27:06Yes.
27:09The city of Rappersville, on the shores of Lake Zurich, has been part of the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage,
27:22or Jakobsweg, since the Middle Ages.
27:27The group arrived late last night at the pilgrim hostel in the old town,
27:31and they all slept in the communal bunk room.
27:39The morning was a cacophony of snorers and murmurers and...
27:46It was just... It was crazy.
27:48Jeff!
27:51What?
27:55Do you want me to make some breakfast?
27:57Yes, please.
27:58The most I can make you is a bit toast.
28:00The girls didn't have a particularly good night and have escaped to the kitchen.
28:05I'm a little bit obsessed with my coffee.
28:07So if I have the opportunity, I pack my own beans and they were worth the space in my rucksack.
28:12It's not bothering you, is it, Nellifer?
28:14Did you not sleep well?
28:15Um, probably the worst night's sleep yet.
28:17Was this the 2am wake up followed by the night of snoring and farting?
28:22Yeah.
28:23I was downwind.
28:24I made a bad bed choice.
28:26And I suffered the consequences.
28:28And I was looking to see you as well.
28:29And I was looking at how it was getting better.
28:30I thought it was terrible.
28:31I'll make some taste.
28:32Always see ya.
28:33What's up?
28:34I think probably would be in two days.
28:43Thanks.
28:44We should have a girls room.
28:45Always a friend.
28:46That's what we should do.
28:47Put it on.
28:48Yes.
28:49This is actually really nice.
28:51Like, too nice.
28:52Can you smell that?
28:55It's fresh air.
29:03No-one's made eggs yet, that's the problem.
29:10From Rappersville, today the group will follow the Camino
29:14over Lake Zurich's famous pilgrim bridge
29:16before climbing to the top of the Etzel Pass and St. Meinrad's Chapel.
29:22Then tomorrow, they'll head to their final destination, Einseelden Abbey.
29:29With only two days left on their pilgrimage,
29:31by nine o'clock, the group are ready to get back on the path.
29:35Oh, it's raining.
29:37Oh, wow, here we are, finally, almost.
29:41This is the first morning I've actually thought about the end.
29:44The end? Yeah, like, we're not that far.
29:46I know. I don't really want to think about it, to be fair.
29:48Are you excited to be done? Kind of and kind of not, I guess.
29:51What about you?
29:52I worry about how special it is and how much I'll miss it,
29:54and yet I also want my own bed, so...
29:56Yeah, I know.
29:58I'm glad the weather didn't bother showing up today.
30:01Oh, it's miserable.
30:02I could do heat and steep over any terrain in the West.
30:08There's no such thing as bad weather.
30:10What?
30:10Just bad clothing.
30:12Who told you this?
30:13They deceived you.
30:14This is bad weather.
30:17Come find that bridge, shall we?
30:19The bridge.
30:20We must find the bridge.
30:23The Pilgrim Bridge has been leading the faithful
30:26across Lake Zurich for centuries.
30:29Is that the wooden bridge?
30:31Yes, that's it.
30:32I think this is the bridge.
30:33It's more firm than I expected.
30:35I'm glad.
30:36I was afraid of something like a rope bridge.
30:38Yeah.
30:39When it was made, there was no handrail.
30:40I can't imagine that.
30:42Can you imagine?
30:43Like, so it didn't used to have rail.
30:44Like, it's pretty windy today.
30:45Are you ready?
30:46Okay.
30:47Let's do it.
30:48Coming.
30:48Flippery though.
30:49Oh, this is quite a moment.
30:52Yeah.
30:53Isn't it?
30:54Well, do you reckon this is the wood from 600 years ago now?
30:57Is it?
30:57I hope not.
30:58When was this built?
30:58It was modernized 2001 to be made safe.
31:02But back in the day, it was really treacherous.
31:04What's the point of it?
31:05Well, otherwise, you'd have to swim.
31:07But I reckon you could swim it.
31:10Don't know about that.
31:11Jay, have you got any more facts about this bridge?
31:14Well, it crosses the narrowest part of Lake Zurich.
31:17Yes.
31:18This bridge was used by pilgrims back in the day, in medieval times, to get to Arnfielden Abbey.
31:23Probably shaved a few kilometers off their route, didn't it?
31:26How beautiful would this be in summertime though?
31:28Look at how clear the water is.
31:30In the sun, it would be magnificent.
31:32Yeah, it would.
31:33The pilgrims have to walk almost a kilometer to get to the other side.
31:41Wet and miserable, but it does look quite beautiful.
31:45In a misty sort of way.
31:47Yes.
31:49How are spirits?
31:50Quite high-ish.
31:52Can we all get closer together?
31:54Because I'm freezing.
31:54Okay.
31:55Yeah, go on.
31:56Little group, cuddle.
31:57Can I get in?
31:58Yeah.
31:59And take the view in with everyone.
32:00Careful, warm you up.
32:00I mean, it's cold, but it's genuinely stunning.
32:04Yeah.
32:06Shall we crack on?
32:08Yeah.
32:08Can we stay interlinked or death on that?
32:10You're enjoying the rest of the brotherhood and sisterhood.
32:17So this bridge is continuing.
32:19Yeah.
32:20It's full length.
32:21It's a long one.
32:22Yes.
32:23It's the longest bridge in Switzerland.
32:24Oh.
32:24We're getting towards the end.
32:28End of the bridge coming up.
32:29Left or right?
32:30Left or right?
32:31We did it.
32:31We're going right.
32:32We did it.
32:32Hooray.
32:33Right it is.
32:34Here we go.
32:36From the shores of the lake, the pilgrims have a tough push ahead of them to the summit of the
32:41Edsel Pass and the chapel of St. Meinrad.
32:47Meinrad was the famed hermit monk whose life was the inspiration for Einzilden Abbey.
32:53I think that there's a possibility of a human being dissolving.
32:57Okay, everyone ready for cars?
32:59Following you, Steph.
33:01I think we're good.
33:01Everyone careful.
33:02Look in it is.
33:03At least the trees will provide some coverage.
33:10Huh.
33:11What?
33:12There was no need for that, was there?
33:14That was like mocking us.
33:16He was literally like, ha, fools, I'm warm in here.
33:20But imagine doing this like 500 years ago, barefoot and that.
33:24I really respect anyone that has done this.
33:28I don't feel physically tired.
33:29I feel mentally tired.
33:31Yeah.
33:31You have such complicated chats through the day, don't you, Ron?
33:35Yeah.
33:36Questions you really have to think about.
33:37Takes it out of you.
33:39And we are actually going quite high in elevation again.
33:42Not as high.
33:42Am I?
33:43But still pretty high.
33:44What would they be running on at this point?
33:48Religious ecstasy?
33:51Devotion?
33:52Fervour?
33:53What do you think the draw is to be a monk?
33:55Like, would it ever appeal to you?
33:57Me?
33:57Yeah.
33:58No way.
33:59Why is that?
33:59Because I just believe my duty is to procreate.
34:03Is that the word?
34:04Yeah.
34:04Procreate lots and lots of mini Harrys.
34:06What about Harriet?
34:07Harriet.
34:08Yep.
34:10And spread the word of God that way.
34:11Okay.
34:13Why are you not a nun, Steph?
34:14Good question.
34:16Good question.
34:16Yeah.
34:17I guess just never felt called to.
34:20I think there's lots of different ways to surf guard.
34:24I feel like it's putting together all the different things.
34:28It's like we learned how to go steep.
34:31Yeah.
34:31We learned how to go muddy.
34:33Now let's put them all together.
34:34Let's do it.
34:35I'm assuming we're still going up, right?
34:42See, this is the problem with letting you go first.
34:44She is a cold spring, isn't she?
34:47It is miserable today.
34:49The path is treacherous.
34:50It's slippery.
34:51It's raining.
34:51This is amazing.
34:53I don't even care if it's raining and I'm freezing.
34:55I'm just loving this.
34:59You good?
35:00I'm right behind you.
35:01I can hear.
35:04Roots are quite helpful as steps.
35:06Did you know, mad fact, trees and humans' brains,
35:10it's both filled with 75% water.
35:13They were quite like trees.
35:14I didn't know that.
35:15I feel over 75% in water right now.
35:20Very muddy here.
35:21Okay.
35:22Oh, this is a fall bush.
35:23I'm just going where you're going.
35:25Ouch.
35:26Oh.
35:27Oh, good.
35:28Oh, good.
35:30You survived, Helen.
35:31It's insane.
35:35It's miserable, but we're all suffering together.
35:38We're near the end.
35:39I feel like I'm defeating the final boss.
35:42It's meant to be uncomfortable before you reach, like, paradise.
35:48This is definitely the hardest bit of walking that we've done.
35:51Yeah.
35:51Hardest bit.
35:52How far do you think we've got to go?
35:53We're getting close, but I'll be honest, I wish it was closer.
35:57Are we at the top yet?
35:58It just keeps going now, so far.
36:02Hurrah.
36:03Really hurrah.
36:04Oh, my goodness.
36:05I can't even look.
36:06It's going to be so easy to give up right now.
36:08I know, I know.
36:09At the top of the pass is St. Meinrad Chapel, the pilgrims' last stop before they reach
36:17their final destination tomorrow.
36:21Oh, wow.
36:23It's said the chapel stands on the spot where Meinrad established his first hermitage in
36:28the ninth century.
36:30Absolutely beautiful.
36:32Beautiful and dry.
36:32Meinrad was a Benedictine monk whose hermit life led to the founding of Einselden Abbey.
36:40So, St. Meinrad, who you'll see depicted on the ceiling, he longed for a life of solitude.
36:46He decided to go into the wilderness where he could just focus on praying.
36:49Pilgrims would visit him.
36:50They'd go and give him gifts and stuff.
36:52He wasn't interested and he'd, like, give them to the poor.
36:54And on his journey into the wilderness, he met an abbess and she gifted him a black
37:00Madonna.
37:01What is a black Madonna?
37:02You know, like Mother Mary?
37:03Yeah.
37:04But depicted with dark skin.
37:06There are many myths and stories about the origins of the black Madonna.
37:12Apparently, miracles happen when they're around.
37:15I used to have a black Madonna in my caravan.
37:17It's just like all my friends that have it as well.
37:20It's a very gypsy cultured as well, the black Madonna.
37:24It's supposed to give you good luck.
37:26And it's actually called a black Madonna, funny enough, because people used to leave
37:29them next to their candles in the old days and then they just turned black.
37:32So, over time, it was named the black Madonna, which is quite cool.
37:37After seven years in his search for solitude, Meinrad moved his hermitage further into the
37:43mountains, towards the dark forest, where in 861 AD, he met a violent death.
37:51Two robbers beat him up and killed him.
37:55And the story goes that two crows that he'd been feeding followed the robbers afterwards,
38:02attacking them and identifying them.
38:04So, the robbers were executed.
38:06So, he's a top monk?
38:08A great monk.
38:09Okay.
38:09Where he had his hermitage, pilgrims would go and visit that place.
38:12Over the years, they built a monastery and eventually that became the place where they
38:16built Anseldon Abbey.
38:18Well, with that in mind, why don't we follow in Meinrad's footsteps?
38:21Yes.
38:21Do it.
38:22Please.
38:23Let's go, brothers and sisters.
38:26Let's go.
38:26For Jay, the pilgrimage has been a reassuring experience.
38:36I have enjoyed pilgrimage.
38:38I think observing the other pilgrims and how our experiences made them lean often further
38:43into the faith that they already had made me more confident.
38:46Okay, yeah, I'm definitely agnostic and an agnostic doesn't know what's going on.
38:51I feel more confidently aware that I'm confused and happier that I've explored the question.
38:57And I think I've got as far as I can get for now.
39:00Do you think you could have lived on your own in the hermitage?
39:03What is a hermitage again?
39:04I think it's just getting away from the world so you can think clearly.
39:08I think there's a part of me that would really enjoy a sort of hermitage-style pilgrimage.
39:12I'm grateful to have spent time with six really interesting people, but it has been a mad house.
39:19Sorry, everyone, but it's true.
39:27It's the group's last day of their pilgrimage, and just ahead of them is their final destination
39:32in the foothills of the Swiss Alps.
39:36We saved the best views for the last day.
39:38I am so happy because yesterday I was miserable, and now I'm a human solar battery being recharged.
39:47I ain't going to miss the stench.
39:49I mean, it's beautiful views, but it stinks.
39:51No one's going to miss your stench, Harry.
39:53Whoa, look, it's there.
39:55If you think about it, like, channeling pilgrims that went before us,
40:01this would have been the view, you know, the very view, wouldn't it?
40:05I think it is quite special if you think about, like, the number of people that have done this
40:09and tread this path.
40:11Maybe a bit more cobblestone-y, you know, back in the day.
40:14But if people keep on doing it, like, there must be something special.
40:19My understanding of God has become bigger on this pilgrimage.
40:26One of the things I'm most grateful for from all my pilgrims is just learning that, actually,
40:33we all really care about this stuff.
40:35Is it that we could all be celebrating the same God in different ways?
40:42Because I just don't want to brush that aside or not be willing to engage with it
40:48for fear that I might have to adjust some of what I think.
40:51And I don't feel that fear anymore.
40:53I just feel a lot of freedom.
40:56If in any way, through this pilgrimage, I have given a little bit of that faith,
41:01that faith that leads to hope,
41:05then that makes me very happy.
41:10That feels really good.
41:12What is it?
41:13It looks a little bit like a busto.
41:15It's like stones in that.
41:16So this isn't a chapel, I don't think.
41:19Oh, this wasn't what I expected.
41:20I thought it was going to be one of those shrines.
41:22Pebbles.
41:23Right, has anyone got a pen?
41:24Because I think I'm going to pick up a stone.
41:27You have a selection of colours.
41:29Does anyone else want to mark a stone?
41:30Leave it.
41:30Leave it.
41:31Can I have purple?
41:32That is a good stone, Jay.
41:33Well done, mate.
41:34Shall I go first?
41:35Yeah.
41:36I...
41:37Oh...
41:38Oh...
41:39Oh, no.
41:41To spell my name, EJ, I was just thinking about what I was going to write.
41:46Did you write, from traitors?
41:47There you go.
41:52I wrote, Nalifah the pilgrim wishes you luck.
41:55Oh.
41:55I didn't expect pilgrimage to delve as deep or make me think as hard on some of the things
42:03that I've been avoiding quite a lot of my life.
42:08It's been hard because it's a lot to grapple with, especially when I didn't expect to change
42:13at all.
42:14I go home, um...
42:17in a slightly better place, I think, than I did when I came.
42:22I'm no longer afraid to look inwards and ask those questions.
42:26I've learned, and I think I've just come to this realisation, that being a modern Muslim
42:31is not having all the answers, but having the openness to ask the questions.
42:34So, I've wrote on mine, Harry, stay faithful, 2024.
42:40There you go, you left your mark.
42:42So, initially, I was going to write, if you find this rock, good luck is coming your way.
42:48But it was, it's illegible, so I just wrote my initials.
42:51But I'm very happy to put it on the rocks, so...
42:57What does it say?
42:58Praying for renewal of all souls.
43:01I don't know whether to redo my stone quick, because I've spelled it wrong.
43:05It's faithful, but faithful also works.
43:07It does work.
43:07I'm so dyslexic, so don't...
43:08Faithful means, like...
43:10Feel bad now.
43:10No, no, it still works.
43:11Hope you find your way.
43:22So, we've left our mark on our pilgrimage trail.
43:24Let's crack on.
43:24Let's get back on the path.
43:25Let's crack on.
43:26Oh, amazing.
43:27Those pebbles will be there forever now, won't they?
43:30Yeah, I think so.
43:30Hopefully.
43:32We're getting closer to the abbey.
43:34Guys, there's something glistening on that tree.
43:37Oh, my gosh.
43:37What?
43:38That's gold.
43:39Is it?
43:39Oh, wow.
43:40We've seen a lot of crucifixes, but this one seems to be, like, the daddy.
43:45Also, it's interesting if it's real gold, that nobody's stolen it.
43:50Because that would be sacrilege.
43:52With the sun coming through the trees, that's nice, right?
43:54That is stunning.
43:55That is beautiful.
43:57This is by far the most beautiful one we've seen, I think.
44:01Pilgrimage has changed me massively, and I've grown up a lot.
44:04I've learned so much about life and how to listen and just be calm and sort of take stuff in.
44:10And now my faith is at such a better place than it was before the start of the pilgrimage.
44:15I'm still a 21st century pilgrim.
44:17Can someone get a photo of me?
44:19At the start, my religion was very private to me.
44:22I wouldn't pray in front of people.
44:23And by the end of it, I'm like, I don't really care.
44:25I'll just do whatever I want to do.
44:27If anyone wants to talk about faith, we can.
44:29Make sure you get Jesus in.
44:31I will.
44:32Now I just feel like a new man.
44:34I'm a new man after the pilgrimage.
44:37Let's do it.
44:38Oh, jeez.
44:38Everyone in.
44:39You all right, Helen?
44:39Yeah.
44:41Well, I got asked, but no Jesus.
44:44I've got to get Jesus in.
44:46Maybe you need to stand more like that way.
44:49Not quite like that, Harry.
44:51I'll just lay down.
44:51Maybe front row crouch down a little bit.
44:52Is Jesus in?
44:55Hang on, we don't have J in it.
44:56Helen, you're going to have to crouch down a little bit.
44:57Get your whole face, Harry.
45:00There we go.
45:01We did it.
45:01Well done, Harry.
45:02Slick, Harry.
45:03Slick.
45:04How old-fashioned pilgrimage style of me to take a selfie at everything we get to.
45:08You went through every permutation.
45:10Video, black and white.
45:16Finally, after nearly two weeks and 300 kilometres through the Austrian and the Swiss Alps,
45:24their epic pilgrimage is almost complete.
45:27The Benedictine Abbey, run by monks like St. Meinrad, is in sight.
45:33The Abbey, guys.
45:34Final destination.
45:35We did it.
45:36I didn't expect the Abbey to be so big.
45:38It's massive.
45:39It was on this site that Einseelden Abbey was founded by monks and followers of Meinrad in 934 AD, after his death.
45:56With its revered Black Madonna, the Abbey has drawn pilgrims for more than a thousand years and has been one of the most important places of pilgrimage in Europe.
46:08It also holds a world-famous library, preserving books and manuscripts going back to the 10th century.
46:15It's long had a prestigious private high school, and its prized pedigree Einseedlerhorses can be traced back 20 generations to the mid-1600s.
46:27The bells are tolling, welcoming us.
46:32We've reached the Abbey!
46:35This is very special, isn't it?
46:38Oh my goodness.
46:40Wow.
46:41This is a whole different level.
46:43Oh my days.
46:44Oh my...
46:45Massive.
46:46Wow.
46:46That smells like every Sunday.
46:53Yeah.
47:04Okay.
47:04That one looks pretty, like, scary.
47:10That orange light.
47:12Like an orb.
47:13Yeah.
47:16This Abbey is stunning.
47:28There's a spectacular building.
47:34I wasn't expecting to have my breath taken away.
47:38Oh, how many years did this take of craftsmanship?
47:45I mean, there's just nothing here that's unadorned.
47:49I'm almost wordless, and I'm always someone who...
47:52You're never wordless.
47:52I always have millions of words.
47:54But it's just the grandeur and the history and the, just, the divine.
48:00I don't know.
48:02I don't know.
48:02Near the entrance to the Abbey, continuing the tradition of St. Meinrad, is the small chapel
48:08of mercy, with its 15th century Black Madonna.
48:11This is the Black Madonna bit, yeah.
48:17Coming face-to-face with the Black Madonna, as thousands of pilgrims have done before her,
48:23Helen has questions.
48:26Father Thomas is used to welcoming pilgrims at the end of their journey.
48:30So, people come and watch the Black Madonna first.
48:34Yes.
48:34God called her to be the mother of his son, but she is a normal human being.
48:41And Mary was a virgin.
48:44Yes.
48:45Gave birth to Jesus.
48:46Yes.
48:47And remained a virgin.
48:49Yes.
48:49With Joseph.
48:50Yes.
48:51That's what we believe.
48:52Yeah.
48:52Because interesting is, if God is able to become man, so I think he can also choose a wonderful
49:00way to become a man.
49:02So, the biggest wonder is not that she remained a virgin.
49:06The biggest wonder is that a God, an endless God, is able to become an human like we are.
49:17I love the way you explain it and believe it.
49:20It's a big one, though, isn't it, for a lot of people?
49:22Do you find in your teachings, do a lot of people ask you questions about that?
49:26I like that.
49:27But we have to have questions up until the end of our life.
49:31Including you.
49:32Including me.
49:33Yeah, hopefully.
49:34Love it, Thomas.
49:35Love it.
49:41Deliso takes a moment to pray.
49:43I don't like performative prayer, so I rarely would, but I just feel like it's one of these
49:51places where your prayers are more heard.
49:54You get caught up in the, how divine it is.
49:59So, I was praying here and feeling like I'm part of the chain of people coming to worship.
50:07It's very overwhelming.
50:10I think that pilgrimage has definitely been like a catalyst.
50:14I still am very bonded to this history and this mythology, but I also don't feel like
50:20that's me.
50:22There were questions which I was sort of considering at the beginning of pilgrimage, like, am I
50:26really a Baha'i, what's my definition?
50:29I don't know the answer, but I've also kind of realized I don't think it's important.
50:33The journey is what's important, and I think I'll be actively seeking and journeying in a
50:39way that I wasn't a few weeks ago.
50:42I'm going to pursue the Baha'i faith more because it's what really satisfies me, but I
50:48also know that I'm more, and I don't think I need to have figured it out.
50:52I am everything.
51:00That's the first time that I've ever meditated in a place of worship.
51:05I've learned a lot about myself on this pilgrimage.
51:08I think my experience has opened the door to curiosity around actually learning a lot
51:15more about faith, a door to something that I'd never really considered before.
51:20There is so much more for me to learn and explore.
51:26I don't think it's good enough for me to say I'm spiritual and I meditate.
51:31I think I want to go a little bit deeper than that now.
51:38At the back of the church, visitors can light votive candles, traditionally a way of offering
51:44a prayer to God.
51:45I mean, coming here is like coming home massively, and this is what I believe in, this is who
51:52I am, and this is what I was brought up with.
51:54I remember my mum would always give thanks to God for our family.
51:59I miss my loved ones, but I've never felt more connected to them than I do right now.
52:04I actually did light a candle for the family that's gone, distant family that's gone, and I put
52:18mine next to Harry.
52:19I am hoping the cafe cabbie and mine rag would be happy for me.
52:24That I'm channelling lives that have passed.
52:30I'm sure nobody would be against that.
52:32On the pilgrimage, being required to reflect about spiritualness, mixed heritage stuff, you're
52:42obviously having to go to a place that you wouldn't normally go to.
52:45It is special, isn't it, to do that?
52:47I am and have been uncomfortable about using the word Jewish background because I don't feel
52:55it defines me, and it certainly has nothing to do with religion, but nevertheless, that
53:01is my past, and I feel a bit released from it.
53:07I have talked about believing in God, which I never thought I'd do, but it is a relief to
53:13have gone there, in that the world is a spiritual place.
53:16I mean, it is for me.
53:19The smell of incense when I came in, and that made you go a bit, ooh.
53:24Yeah, well, it just reminded me so much of church, and I've not smelt that for a while.
53:29I remember when I was a kid, it was really strong.
53:32There's a real feeling of reverence, a massive building, and everyone is gathered, ready all
53:41together for something.
53:46At 5pm, every day, the Abbey's monks approach the Chapel of Grace to sing the Salve Regina,
53:53a choral prayer to the Virgin Mary, said to be a fitting end to every pilgrim's journey.

54:29CHOIR CONTINUES
54:31Let us pray.
55:01Let us pray.
55:31As a pilgrim, I found it very satisfying.
55:35It's like if we were building a jigsaw, we've put in the last piece and you've got that satisfaction of like what these two weeks have been.
55:44But there's one last experience the Abbey has to offer to mark the finality of their journey.
55:53All right, to end the pilgrimage, should we drink from the holy fountain?
56:00Absolutely.
56:00If you drink from all 14 spouts, which represent the 14 holy helpers, who are saints, you get good health for at least a year.
56:10Every single spout?
56:12Yeah.
56:13Right, it's my first one.
56:15Both hands.
56:16How do you do it?
56:16Like this?
56:19Done.
56:20Oh, that's actually really nice.
56:24One.
56:25Two.
56:26It's actually a lot harder than you think.
56:35It actually is delicious.
56:37More good health, please.
56:39I've got it all in my bottle and then I'll down it at the end.
56:41That's so smart.
56:45Proud to have completed the pilgrimage.
56:47A lot has happened on the path to this Abbey.
56:51We've made friends that we've shared something really special and personal with.
56:55It's quite a bit of sweet, to be honest.
56:57It's great that we're here and we've succeeded.
57:01But it also means that we're going to be saying goodbye to each other.
57:04What about a great hug?
57:05Yeah.
57:05Yes.
57:06Bring it in.
57:06All right, put it in there, guys.
57:08All right, pilgrimage on three.
57:10Three, two, one.
57:12Pilgrimage!
57:14Bring it in.
57:15You should be so proud of yourself.
57:17Wait, no, it actually is the end, though.
57:19It's all done.
57:20Amen.
57:20You're going to laugh.
57:21We'll never be the same again.
57:24We did well.
57:26We did do well.
57:27Jeff, can we kiss?
57:28We got there.
57:29No, we cannot kiss, Harry.
57:31Oh, my God.
57:35Holy moly.
57:36Oh, my God.
57:37Oh, my God.
57:37Holy moly.
58:01Oh, my God.
58:08Oh, my God.
58:08Oh, my God.
58:09Oh, my God.
58:09Oh, my God.
58:09Oh, my God.
58:10Oh, my God.
58:10Oh, my God.
58:11Oh, my God.
58:11Oh, my God.
58:11Oh, my God.
58:12Oh, my God.
58:12Oh, my God.
58:13Oh, my God.
58:13Oh, my God.
58:15Oh, my God.
58:15Oh, my God.
58:15Oh, my God.
58:16Oh, my God.
58:17Oh, my God.
58:17Oh, my God.
58:18Oh, my God.
58:19Oh, my God.
58:19Oh, my God.

58:26Oh, my God.
