Our Lady and All Saints of Evesham Pilgrimage
This year’s pilgrimage will begin at St James Church, Badsey, where we will gather at 9:15 am for a prompt 9:30 am departure. Following the historic path once walked by the monks, we will make our way to the remains of Evesham Abbey in Abbey Park.
At the abbey, we hope to pray the Akathist to Our Lady of Evesham and all the saints of Evesham, before moving on to the Divine Liturgy at All Saints Church at 11:00 am.
After the service, we will enjoy lunch together—either a picnic outdoors or a meal at one of the many food outlets in Evesham, depending on the weather. At 1:30 pm, there will be a guided tour of the Abbey lands.
The day will draw to a close with Vespers at All Saints Church at 3:00 pm.
We warmly invite you to join us for this day of prayer, fellowship, and discovery, as we walk in the footsteps of the monks and give thanks for the holy heritage of Evesham.
If the weather is poor, we will meet at All Saints Church at 10:30 am.
This is the nearest Saturday to the feast day celebrating the translation of relics of St Egwin, 10 September. Our community patronal festival falls on 9 September.
The monk’s path is a walk over various surfaces and takes around an hour, depending on the pace.
