under News from St Mary's 'Fr Philip writes'.

of Walsingham is the centre of devotion to the Holy Mother in the
Church of England and wider Anglican Communion. Each May there is a
national pilgrimage where thousands of people come together
from all parts of the UK, to honour the Holy Mother.

O
Mary, recall the solemn moment when Jesus, your divine Son, dying on the
cross, confided us to your maternal care.
You
are our mother; we desire to remain for ever your faithful children.
Let
us therefore feel the effects of your powerful intercession with your son
Jesus Christ.
Make
your name again glorious in this place, once renowned throughout our land
for your visits, favours and many miracles.
Pray,
O Holy Virgin for the conversion of England, restoration of the sick,
consolation for the afflicted, repentance to sinners, peace to the
departed.
O
blessed Mary, Mother of God, Our lady of Walsingham, intercede for us.

Orthodox Church at Walsingham
