And if you are going to be spending long days on the road, we shall provide you a personal hygiene bag to keep you physically well-groomed and motivated throughout your pilgrimage. By the end of your pilgrimage a new you will be born, ready, to live in the miracles that your Holy Pilgrimage will reward you with.
