Pilgrimage

Northern Cross is a great way to celebrate Easter. We walk for all of Holy Week (i.e. the week before Easter), carrying an eight-foot cross, and arriving at Lindisfarne on Good Friday. Easter weekend is then spent on Holy Island. Anyone's welcome to come, and there are various different legs - one aimed at families, one more contemplative, and some more strenuous routes - with lighter or heavier crosses to carry and different amounts to walk per day as appropriate. It's great: you meet interesting people, walk through some really good countryside, experience very warm hospitality, and hopefully come closer to God by celebrating Easter in a meaningful way. Even if you don't want to walk every year, I'd recommend trying it once! Visit the website for more information, or have a look at my photos.
