Fußwallfahrt Paris-Chartres, 2.Tag
Eindrücke der jährlich stattfindenden Fußwallfahrt der Tradition von Paris nach Chartres über Pfingsten. Pfingstsonntag, 2.TagParis to chartres: Pilgrimage
The Paris-Chartres Pilgrimage is a three-day walk from Notre-Dame de Paris to Notre-Dame de Chartres, approximately 75 miles. Pilgrims are organized into groups of 20-65 people, that are referred to as "chapters". The "walk" is through the streets of Paris, and then into the countryside. It can be muddy, rocky, and demanding-and the rewards of such a penitential exercise are eternal. Good sturdy shoes are a must. Each chapter is accompanied by at least one chaplain, who hears confession and gives spiritual direction to each pilgrim who avails himself of the priest's presence. This pilgrimage originated in the 12th century, with interruptions for the various wars our European brethren seem to find themselves in from time to time. A plenary indulgence is granted, under the usual conditions. (http://www.nd-chretiente.com/index-eng.php)
