>> Greetings all,
>> I have found numerous texts for blessing pilgrims on the internet, but they seem mostly to be modern ones. Does anyone know of a good medieval text? Also, I was always told that pilgrims set off with a staff and scrip (bag), and indeed there are numerous illustrations of such in the internet. I assume they would also have been blessed, but my question is a slightly different one. St. James is often portrayed as a pilgrim, but in the images a preliminary search has produced, when represented as such he has his scallop shell and a staff, but no scrip. Maybe I’m just looking at the wrong images . . .
>> As always, any help much appreciated!
