Paper 2
Revise: Christian Pilgrimage: Walsingham and TaizéWalsingham is a village in Norfolk, England, which has been a Christian pilgrimage site since the eleventh century. Its importance is connected with the tradition that, in 1061, Richeldis de Faverches received a vision of the Virgin Mary, the mother of Jesus.
Use details from both named sites: Walsingham is associated with Mary; Taizé emphasises shared prayer and Christian unity.
Describe the vision at Walsingham as a religious belief or tradition, not as an independently established event.
