Marian Pilgrimage - Our Lady of Pity in the Galilee at Durham Cathedral

The pilgrimage now heads to the north east of England and the Palatinate of Durham. It has two shrines to visit, both within the cathedral at Durham. 

The first is in the Galilee Chapel and the statue of Our Lady of Pity. This was a request image of the Virgin in late medieval piety across Europe but few instances survive in England, and are usually alabasters that survived the destruction of the sixteenth century in private hands. The type of statue that was in Durham or survives in contintetal collections and which anticipate Michelangelo’s sculpture in the Vatican, has not survived in England.
