To Be a Pilgrim: The Canterbury Way

To Be a Pilgrim: The Canterbury Way is a beautifully filmed documentary following the ancient pathway of pilgrimage running through south-east England. This trail was followed by St Thomas Becket, the man who stood up to a King and inspired all of Christendom. This path has drawn countless pilgrims, inspired the writings of such as Chaucer, and has recently gained more interest. To Be a Pilgrim: The Canterbury Way follows Fr. Marcus Holden and Fr. Nicholas Schofield as they make the pilgrimage from London to Canterbury. They discover the story of St Thomas along the way and find many fascinating traditions as well, the Rood of Boxley, the splendor of Rochester, the "second Carmel" at Aylesford, among many others. In following the footsteps of medieval pilgrims, the To Be a Pilgrim: The Canterbury Way shows the strong Christian heritage that can be found in England and gives Catholics a beautiful reflection on what it means to be a pilgrim.
