| A New DVD/Video from the
Education Department |
 A
new, exciting educational film for teachers, Children's and Youth
Leaders in Parishes!
A bumper resource pack including colour images, activities and
information sheets is in preparation to accompany the film - see
below right.
If you are looking for a fresh and exciting way to introduce
young (and older!) people to pilgrimage in Walsingham this DVD/Video
presentation is for you!
The film features a group of Sixth Form students and primary school
children who arrive in Walsingham and begin their pilgrimage journey
of exploration. They visit the Slipper Chapel, walk the Holy Mile,
explore the Abbey grounds and visit the Anglican Shrine. With the
help of music, vivid imagery and captivating drama, the story of
Lady Richeldis and her visions is re-created on film. In addition
there is a 'video diary' at the end which offers a personal,
first-hand experience of a visit to the Shrine compiled by one of
the students. This will be particularly useful to young people
following a GCSE course on pilgrimage and to any leader who is
planning to bring a group of children/young people to Walsingham. |
Orthodox Mysteries - sacraments and worship of the Orthodox
Church
A useful resource for teachers and especially for students at KS3
and KS4. A clearly set out, illustrated booklet that gives a
comprehensive description of worship in the Orthodox tradition. Available from the
Shrine Shop; cost £4.95
 Pod
& Ezzie Walk the Holy Mile
At last the long-awaited sequel to Pod & Ezzie on Pilgrimage,
written by Janet Marshall and delightfully illustrated by Rebecca
Johnson. In this second book Pod and his cheeky friend Ezzie the
donkey, who are pilgrims to Walsingham, walk the famous Holy Mile.
They visit the medieval Slipper Chapel and Holy Spirit Chapel, now
the site of the RC National Shrine of OLW. Whilst there Ezzie gets
up to all sorts of mischief, but learns a lot about what makes this
holy place so special for Christians. This humorous and
poignant story with its beautifully drawn, colourful illustrations
offers a useful follow on from the first book and offers teachers,
leaders and parents useful preparation or follow-up before or after
a pilgrimage or educational visit to Walsingham. It is also ideal as
a stocking filler for Christmas. Available from the Shrine Shop; cost
£4.99
 Special
people, special places
A new book from Janet Marshall which links the theme of
'life as a journey to the concept of 'Christians on the move'.
This is developed into an exploration of pilgrimage in the Bible.
The book also offers a close look at ten sites of Christian
pilgrimage around Britain - including S. Werburgh at Chester
Cathedral, S. Winifred's Well at Holywell, Canterbury Cathedral and
Westminster Abbey plus, of course, the Shrine of Our Lady of
Walsingham. Each section of the book is a self-contained unit which
can be used individually or as a whole. Each theme in the book
is linked to the new non-statuory framework for Religious Education.
It is fully photocopiable and provides fact files, guidance notes
for suggested activities and discussion, as well as stories, plays
and poems. Attractive, eye-catching illustrations have been drawn by
Mary Hall; these expand into fully illustrated worksheets at the end
of the book.
Available from the Shrine Shop; cost £9.99
