Thousands throng church for annual pilgrimage in Bukit Mertajam


CATHOLICS from across the region congregated in Bukit Mertajam, Penang, to attend the annual St Anne’s Feast Day, with many fulfilling vows made in moments of personal struggle.

R. Thivya Bharti 32, who travelled from Teluk Intan, Perak, with her husband Jevi Jesan, 33, and their eight-year-old son Ebeneseh, said the pilgrimage had been a family practice for several years and every visit felt deeply spiritual.
