PILGRIMAGE TO WALSINGHAM IN HONOUR OF THE MOTHER OF GOD 18 MAY 2025

Dear Sourozh Pilgrims,

Christ is risen!

 

This Sunday 18-05-2025, after the Divine Liturgy, a group of pilgrims from Prish of St Nicholas, Oxford and other communities will begin a visit to Walsingham in honour of the Mother of God.

 

Pilrimage is led by Archppriest Stephan Platt, recotor of St Nicholas parish, Oxford.

 

The first stop for the pilgrimage will be the ancient Saxon Church of All Saints in Brixworth Village, near Northampton, where we will sing Vespers and be able to venerate the relic of Saint Boniface of Mainz, which was discovered hidden there in the 19th century.

 

All Saints Church is one of the oldest surviving original built churches in England. For more information about the church, see https://www.friendsofbrixworthchurch.org.uk/. 

 

For the life of St Boniface, who was English but was the Apostle of Germany, see https://orthodoxwiki.org/Boniface

 

We hope to arrive in Brixworth at around 3:30 pm, and to begin Vespers at 4 pm. The address of the church is:

All Saints Church, Church St, Brixworth, Northampton NN6 9DF
