Some pictures of last Monday's Pilgrimage in honour of St Margaret Clitherow and the Martyrs of York
It was an honour to have the Civic Party of York participate in our procession yesterday to help us keep the witness of St Margaret Clitherow and the Martyrs of York alive.
In the words of the Right Honourable the Lord Mayor: “Her story has become His Story, and has become history.”
