Product Description
In the spring of 959 the frozen corpse of Bishop Aelfsige was found on the slopes of the Gran San Bernado. He was Bishop of Winchester and had been promoted to the See of Canterbury and so he set off for Rome to collect his Pallium (a woollen stole the pope bestowed on metropolitan archbishops), and in the depth of winter he had attempted to cross the pass.
Many pilgrims from northern Europe did succeed in walking to Rome or even to Bari in the heel of Italy, and from there set sail for the Holy Land.
“Via Francígena” (the Road of Frankish Origin), had occupied the author’s mind for years, and he was determined one day to walk at least the Italian section from the Swiss border to the heel of Italy. After thirty-five years working as a priest in Westminster Diocese, London, he was offered a Sabbatical Year, a time for renewal and decided to walk from the Gran San Bernado to the heel of Italy along the Medieval Pilgrim Routes. This is his account of the journey.
Fr Aidan Sharratt is a priest of the Diocese of Westminster.
