Since 2020, the year England was rededicated as Mary’s Dowry, I have invited my readers to join me on a May Marian Pilgrimage around known Medieval English shrines of Our Lady.
Last year progress was interrupted when I ended up in hospital and the Pilgrimage was not resumed until August, and possible supplementary one to Scotland and Wales never got organised. However I am back in my blogging harness and setting off once more on the virtual journey.
Each year I mean to rewrite and consolidate the accounts of the shrines, and, with or without illness, that never seems to happen. This year I will republish the articles from last year in their revised form, with any additional notes that I have or want to share about the various shrines. The route is an often quixotic arrangement - this is no easy Camino but a very eccentric ramble through the English counties and countryside from Glastonbury to Walsingham.
The background to the Pilgrimage and its sources are set out in last year’s introduction in May Marian Pilgrimage
In addition to the suitable intentions I set out for the last two years this year it seems only right and proper to offer the Pilgrimage for Our Lady’s intercession for the Papal Conclave and for the new Pope.
May Our Lady accompany us on this virtual Pilgrimage and may may she ever accompany the Church.

It is always an annual pleasure to await, John, your “annual eccentric ramble through the English counties and countryside from Glastonbury to Walsingham”.
