The Pilgrimage now temporarily bypasses Bury St Edmunds to visit the shrine of Our Lady of Woolpit which lies a few miles to its east. My notes about the history of this shrine with various relevant links can be accessed at Marian Pilgrimage - Our Lady of Woolpit
In my notes I also refer to the curious twelfth century story of the Green Children, who have become something of a symbol of the village. There I include a link to the lengthy discussion on Wikipedia about their story and its possible origins.
Our Lady of Woolpit pray for The King and The Queen and for us all.
