The Taizé Community will hold thirty evenings of prayer and sharing between mid-February and Easter. Below is the list. These preparatory gatherings, which will take place throughout the Holy Land, are a way of laying the groundwork for the international meeting of young adults that will be held in the Holy Land between May 8 and 15, 2022. You are warmly invited to participate in one or several of these evenings. Fruit of a collaboration between the Taizé Community, the Tantur Ecumenical Institute, and the Churches of the Holy Land, this gathering is expected to bring together hundreds of young adults from Europe and other continents and as many from the Holy Land. What is the purpose of these evenings? We cannot become bearers of hope if we ourselves do not undertake our own inner pilgrimage to the sources of hope. It is in that spirit that the following evenings have been conceived:
