To Be a Pilgrim The Canterbury Way DVD

An ancient pilgrimage route runs through south-east England, bringing together so much of English identity. It is the path of St. Thomas Becket, the martyr who challenged a King and inspired Christendom. It is a road that drew numerous travellers in the past, caught Chaucer's mind, and interest in this pilgrim trail is reviving now.

This beautifully captured film follows Fr. Marcus Holden and Fr. Nicholas Schofield as they make their way from London to Canterbury on a pilgrimage. Along the way, they learn about St Thomas' tale and numerous remarkable customs, such as the Rood of Boxley, the splendour of Rochester, the "second Carmel" at Aylesford, and many others.

By retracing the inspiring journey of the medieval pilgrims, this film reveals the rich Christian heritage of England, and provides a profound reflection for all Catholics on what it means ‘To Be A Pilgrim.’
