Norfolk Pilgrim

  Green Pilgrimage   dead buried ?  F ake news! Alleluia!  Founded in 2011, the GPN has a vision - "pilgrims on all continents, and the pilgrim cities that receive them, becoming models of care for the environment and leaving a positive footprint on the earth." A need that has become ever more pressing as the Global Warming and Species Extinction have become more apparent. So what's behind the story?  It would be easy to blame the E.U.!  But the truth is the E.U. have been a force for good since they picked up the idea iand developed  Green Pilgrimage Interreg Europe  and the European Green Pilgrimage Network . The U.K. leaves the E.U. at the end of January 2021.  So, U.K. beneficiaries can wave goodbye to E.U. grants.  The friendships  forged through the European Green Pilgrimage Network will endure and we will continue to value our rediscoverd common history. Pilgrims from the U.K. will continue to walk the Camino de Santigo, visit Vadstena , Trondheim , Assisi and Rome

  Holy Cross ? I happened across a Relic of the True Cross as I sauntered about the Anglican Shrine at Walsingham. Back in the day pilgrims may have combined a pilgrimage to the Walsingham with a visit to the Bromholm Priory - one of the buildings that Cromwell knocked about a bit. As you can see from the pics I took on pilgrimage in 2014. Paston Footprints have done a brilliant job of reimagining the priory before its destruction Find myself reflecting on the Dream of the Rood,  the Ruthwell Cross and the last pilgrimage I made to Ruthwell  in 2015.
