From the Liverpool-
AROUND 1,000 people visited Liverpool’s Anglican Cathedral to see an image of the famous shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham.
The event on Saturday was arranged after young people from Liverpool went on a pilgrimage to the ancient shrine in Norfolk and wanted to introduce their friends to the experience.
A spokesman for the Diocese of Liverpool said: “The Walsingham day was a first for the cathedral and there was a huge turnout. We estimate that at least 1,000 people would have come to the Cathedral during the day. The Lady Chapel, where some of the lectures took place, was full and at least 400 celebrated communion at midday.”
He added: “The shrine at Walsingham has become an important place of pilgrimage for many Anglicans. The day at Liverpool Cathedral was an opportunity for many to experience the spiritual benefits of a trip to Walsingham.”
The day also included music and talks.
