C&SI - The Story of Walsingham - 26 May 2024 (S04E27)

On this weeks podcast we are continuing our small series on different Marian devotions and shrines which we are going to be covering for the month of May - as of course in Catholic tradition May is the month of Mary!We are delving back into the archive to an interview we did in September 2015 with Tim McDonald who introduces us the Shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham and its ancient history.The Shrine of Our Lady at Walsingham was established in 1061 when, according to the text of the Pynson Ballad (c 1485), Richeldis de Faverches prayed that she might undertake some special work in honour of Our Lady. In answer to her prayer, the Virgin Mary led her in spirit to Nazareth, showed her the house where the Annunciation occurred, and asked her to build a replica in Walsingham to serve as a perpetual memorial of the Annunciation.We have our regular run through the liturgical odds and ends for the coming week in part one and of course in part three we have our weekly reflection on the Sunday gospel which this week is for the Solemnity of the Holy Trinity.Text us at +353 874668950 or email at [email protected]
