- Summary:
- In the year 1061 a sleepy little village in the depths of rural Norfolk was transformed. The Lady Richeldis of Walsingham had a vision of the Blessed Virgin Mary. She was transported in spirit to the Holy Land and shown the house in which Our Lady was told that she would be the Mother of God. The Blessed Virgin commanded Richeldis to build an exact replica of this house in Walsingham, which was to be known as 'England's Nazareth'. Walsingham today is England's most popular pilgrimage site for both Roman Catholics and Anglicans. This collection of prayers and reflections focuses on the relevance and restfulness of Walsingham in the busy distracting world in which we live today.
