What would motivate you to walk 1000 km? A diverse group of pilgrims did just that for love of God and in preparation for the 49th International Eucharistic Congress, that was held in Quebec City in June 2008. Carrying the Ark of the New Covenant, a symbolic religious artifact, the portageurs proceeded along a historic path from Midland to Quebec City. Their inspiring and arduous journey was chronicled in 64 Days with the Ark, a new reality-talk show series exclusive to Salt + Light Television. As the pilgrims completed their march to Quebec, Salt + Light followed their journey.
