Tomorrow, September 16, is the feast day of Saint Ninian. In July, together with Christine Ramsay, Ken Wilson, and Sara Parks, I walked the Whithorn Way in Scotland, the medieval Royal pilgrimage route to St Ninian. To honour Saint Ninian Day here’s a short video of that pilgrimage!

Lovely images! A pilgrimage decidedly unlike that in Saskatchewan, though. Loved the images of the votives….
The votives really were striking. And you’re so right. Where were the scones and tea on the Saskatchewan pilgrimages? 🙂
