The story of Lady Richeldis spun around Mary's visit to her and took her to Holy Family of Nazareth. It was so interesting to read, lady Richeldis was asked to take measurements of the house to make replica in England. So it is known as England's Nazareth.
Its bit curious to read how middle age pilgrimages happened. Some of the essential ítems carried with them like will, bible, ampulla and so on once the permission from bishop was given.
Mary's statue has lot of meanings to it. Our Lady is pointing to Jesus who carry Bible- Word became flesh. Throne with pillars on either side with 7 rings portrays sacraments. Mary is sitting on toadstool which shows anglosaxon way of saying Our Lady stsmping head of serpent/ evil.
Just had some cupcakes and listened to Lady of Walsigham hymn...
