Our Lady of Walsingham (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Our Lady of WalsinghamA few years ago the pre-reformation Chapel of St. Catherine - sometimes called the Slipper Chapel - became the property of the Diocese of Northampton. It is not difficult to see the Finger of God in the recovery of this beautiful chapel - the resting place of pilgrims on their way to Our Lady's Shrine. For many years, the nearest church was at King's Lynn, where Our Lady of Walsingham has been honoured these last forty years. But, at long last, we have been given the opportunity of restoring devotion to Our Blessed Lady in the very neighbourhood itself, where, for hundreds of years, her Shrine stood as the centre of England's devotion to her. This chapel has been restored, and is now being made beautiful and devotional as it must have been in the days when England gloried in the title of Dowry of Mary.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
