This final leg of the International Military Pilgrimage is the most communal. On the last night of the journey, thousands of soldiers march in a silent, candlelit processional beginning at the Grotto, winding out and all around the sanctuary to end in front of the Rosary Basilica. When the crowd is especially large, the procession can last more than two hours, winding around the street beside the river before coming back into the front of the sanctuary to end at the Basilica.
