Young people from the Varaždin diocese organised the third cycling rosary, with participants riding the 70-kilometre route from Ludbreg to Molva on bicycles. The route linked the two pilgrimage sites in the Podravina region: the Precious Blood of Christ in Ludbreg and the sanctuary in Molva.
The cycling rosary brought together 70 young people from across the diocese. At the churches and chapels along the route, participants prayed one decade of the rosary, while throughout the ride, prayer and song were ever-present. They took a break in Koprivnica, at the parish of Blessed Alojzije Stepinac.
At the final destination in Molva, a special programme was held, featuring the ceremony of the death of Saint Francis. The ceremony was held in commemoration of the 800th anniversary of his death.
The organisers stated that the cycling rosary would become a tradition. They highlighted that their greatest strength lay in their togetherness, their shared prayer, and the fact that they rode their bicycles as one, as a group with the same goal and the same core values.
They added that they had been filled with spiritual energy, with a sense of community and a good will for the future, for new victories ahead.
