150 students from St Bede’s Inter-Church School in Cambridge took part in the annual Bede Trail Pilgrimage to the North-East earlier in July.
They travelled north with 15 staff to walk in the footsteps of their patron saint in a pilgrimage which marked the end of their first year in the school. They visited St Bede’s home in Jarrow, which is now supported by a wonderful Anglo-Saxon museum and, having dressed as monks, they prayed in St Paul’s Church and visited the monastic ruins.
The next day, they travelled up to Holy Island (Lindisfarne), worshipping in both the Catholic and Anglican churches and playing in Bamburgh sand dunes before escaping the wind and rain with a fish and chips supper in Seahouses. The pilgrimage reached its destination on the final morning with a visit to Durham Cathedral and prayers around St Bede’s tomb.
