It was the true end of that pilgrimage that started in Tououse. In September I am starting from Arles, ending in Toulouse--I followed your blog from Toulouse onwarad last year.

I think it's important. But I only do it at certain times, when I feel driven to do it, when the time is right.<BR/><BR/>The only other time I lit candles this journey was at Eunate near to Puente la Reina close to the end of the pilgrimage...<BR/><BR/>Eunate! What a place. One of the most scared and wondrous and affecting religious sites I've ever visited. But more of all that later..!The Solitary Walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11284354541952038339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8319797996494487653.post-48314755137861957802008-11-13T17:34:00.000+00:002008-11-13T17:34:00.000+00:00Thanks for your comment, kiwi.

(a stage before becoming priests, becoming more common now, many of them older men who have been married for many years before studying for the diaconate.)<BR/>I think I experienced a similar 'inner peace' hearing sung vespers along the way (in Conques, Moissac, Rabanal) and would find it hard to say why.Kiwi Nomadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13351034705766073667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8319797996494487653.post-12854216031785017342008-11-12T16:13:00.000+00:002008-11-12T16:13:00.000+00:00Like the peaceful aspect of this SW.

I remember your sister from a long time ago - lighting a candle for her - and for your mother is comforting - one's feelings at these religious gatherings can be conflicting but i do think there is a sense of peace.The Weaver of Grasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947971556343746883noreply@blogger.com
