C&SI - The Story of Walsingham - 26 May 2024 (S04E27b) (podcast excerpt)

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!

So in this weeks podcast excerpt 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.
