From The Church Times-
PEOPLE are being asked to devise pilgrimage routes that would take a single day to each of the cathedrals in Britain.
“It’s
the most accessible way to engage with pilgrimage before you do a
really long one,” Guy Hayward, of the British Pilgrimage Trust, said.
“You might ask whether a one-day pilgrimage actually counts as long
enough, but the thing about pilgrimages is mainly the intention behind
the journey. What do I want to bring into my life? What do I want to let
go, or what question do I need answering?
“If you set your intention at the beginning of the day in a holy place —
kneeling by an altar, an ancient tree, or a river source — and then
walk through the landscape, holding that intention, visiting holy places
as you go, arriving in time for evensong at the majesty of a cathedral,
it’s a brilliant way of connecting to the Church.
