| has gloss | eng: Student Cross is the annual, Ecumenical, cross-carrying, walking pilgrimage to Walsingham that takes place at Easter. The pilgrimage was founded in 1948 by a University of London student, Wilfred Mauncote-Carter, who led a group of students including many ex-servicemen, on a walk from London to Walsingham, taking it in turns to carry the Cross. The pilgrimage has grown over the years and currently consists of ten different legs that start from different areas of the country and at different stages of the week leading up to the celebration of the Easter Triduum. The Pilgirmage has been officially Ecumenical since 1972 although it still retains a Catholic flavour. |
