Hostility To Pilgrimage?

Mary Margaret, me and Kelly, 2014 on the Camino. Nice pic Angela.

 

A few days ago our lovely art historian Catalina sent in this article and it piqued my interest.  I have seen indifference and ignorance of the process and the power of pilgrimage.  Always it seemed a more or less passive activity.  Even that seems amazing since we at Caminoheads consider pilgrimage up there with sliced bread.  But the word hostility came up.  What?

They are seeing the light there in Scotland.  With all the interest in pilgrimage worldwide it seems it is finally coming up on radar.  What is this phenomenon and why is it appealing when interest in churchy church seems at an all time low.  Something is going on.

Speaking of pilgrimage we have a walk here in a few moments.  Phil’s Camino, maybe the world’s smallest pilgrimage, is a going concern.  Time to find my rubber boots and logbook.  The trail is still wet but the grass is starting to grow and trees are blooming.  Come and walk with me when you get a chance.  Love on the move, Felipe.

  1. Good Day Phil,
    Thank You for that inspiring info on Pilgrimages in Scotland.
    Looks like the time has come to take my Kilt out of the closet and head back to the home of my birth.
    Blessings.
    William.

    1. William ~ they do look most interesting and especially for someone like yourself that has connections. Keep us informed. Phil.
