medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Among North American gypsies too? A few years ago Robert Duvall made a wonderful movie about the gypsies' annual pilgrimage to the shrine of Ste Anne de Beaupre. I don't know if that still continues.

> The cult of Anne acquired almost a life of its own in Canada. It's unclear
> to what extent this was related to its popularity in Brittany. A fascinating
> development was the adoption of Ste. Anne as patroness by a number of the
> First Peoples living in what became eastern Canada and the U.S., notably the
> Mi'kmaq and Western Ab'naki. The annual gatherings of the people at central
> locations became linked to the feast of the adopted and adapted figure of
> Ste. Anne (she arrives in North America while fleeing from an abusive
> husband and her symbol is the eagle feather). See Harald Prins, _The
> Mi'kmag: Resistance, Accommodation, and Cultural Survival, Wadsworth Pub Co;
> ISBN: 0030534275; 1st edition (January 2, 1996).
