The Pilgrimage now goes to Windsor to the statue of Our Lady which once stood in St George’s Chapel in the Castle. Last year I made the case for extending the Pilgrimage at this point by crossing the Thames to visit Our Lady of Eton as a further example of the medieval Royal quest for Marian intercession.
My previous posts and thoughts about these shrines can be accessed at Marian Pilgrimage - Our Lady of Windsor
The connection of the Crown to Windsor and to Eton is obvious and well known. Suffice it to say that apart from Westminster Abbey itself nowhere expresses the English understanding of Throne and Altar, Church and State so completely as Windsor.
Our Lady of Windsor, Our Lady of Eton pray for The King and The Queen and for us all.
