[MR] BBC: Medieval Pilgrimages Regain Popularity

[Garth Groff and Sally Sanford]

Noble Friends,

For some time the BBC has been offering "New Love for Medieval-style
Travel", a piece on the revival of pilgrimage. Pilgrimage to many sites has
grown during recent years, particularly to Santiago de Compstela in Spain
and to Canterbury in England. The story also mentions pilgrimage in Japan,
India's Kumbh Mela in India and the Haj to Mecca in Saudi Arabia.

You can read the story at
