The parish enclosures, or ‘les enclos paroissiaux’, in west Brittany are an extraordinary set of 16th-century churches. They feature elaborate and exquisite granite carvings on the outdoor calvaries, which tell the story of Christ’s passion.

It’s not everyday you launch a new pilgrimage route. King’s Lynn Magazine has a cover story about this new route from King’s Lynn to Walsingham, on which kings, queens, medieval pilgrims, Hanseatic traders and Margery Kempe would have trod. WW=Walsingham Way

Embarking on the Zittau Way, a pilgrimage route that goes from Zittau in Saxony, Germany through central Bohemia. It is actually the east end of the European ‘Camino’, eventually joining Santiago. Stayed in Kryštofovo Údolí, or (St) Christopher’s Valley, perfect for pilgrims!

Launch of the Walsingham Way from King’s Lynn to Walsingham. The 29-mile route takes in such delights as the ruins of the Norman Castle Rising Castle and the sublime angel roof at St Mary’s, South Creake. We were also accompanied by Margery Kempe on a short segment of the route

A pilgrimage route is being launched from King’s Lynn Minster to Walsingham (Walsingham Way Part 2) on 6th June. It follows the medieval route Margery Kempe, Hanseatic traders, pilgrims, kings & queens would have taken. Walking is good for you: solvitur ambulando!

Opening the Walsingham Way pilgrim route between King’s Lynn and Walsingham, a route that many English kings and queens, pilgrims and Hanseatic traders would have walked in the medieval period. This 29-mile route is Part 2, the first being the already established Norwich-Walsingham section

Always a privilege to offer the opening prayer at the Mart, King's Lynn's main event in February (14th), a tradition that has taken place for hundreds of years!

Pravda a láska musí zvítězit nad lží a nenávistí / truth and love must overcome lies and hate (Havel). On the anniversary of the Velvet Revolution. 17.11.89. Democracy is the best we have on offer to protect our cherished values.

We light candles of peace two years after the terrible atrocities on October 7th when innocent Israeli people were murdered or abducted. We pray for the release of the remaining hostages. We pray for the plight of Palestinians who have lost thousands and their homes. We pray for the war’s end. Pax.

A good reflective 26-mile pilgrimage (equivalent of a marathon) along the Clarendon Way over 2 days from Salisbury Cathedral to Winchester Cathedral. An old Winchester cheddar and chive scone to celebrate! @anneebailey1.bsky.social

The 80th Anniversary of VE Day culminated tonight at King’s Staithe Square in King’s Lynn with the lighting of the beacon. We think of those who fought so bravely for us in the Second World War. They gave up their today for our tomorrow.

We pray at King’s Lynn Minster for all who mourn the loss of an inspirational global spiritual leader and for the Roman Catholic Church for the passing of Pope Francis.

Wishing you a Joyful Easter! Χριστός ανέστη! Photo of Easter Garden under the altar on Easter Eve at King’s Lynn Minster.

Praying for Ukraine tonight at King’s Lynn Minster. Praying for a just peace. @dioceseofnorwich.bsky.social
