Trains to Canterbury
January 15th, 2010 by admin
Being canonized just three years later, Trains to Canterbury became a center of pilgrimage for European Christians. The tradition continues. All guides a team of priests and volunteers to provide visitors seeking a warm welcome. This episode has inspired many authors, including T. S. Eliot in his 1935 drama Murder in the Cathedral: “You’re between cheering, jubilant arrive, but bring death to Canterbury: a curse on the house, a curse on you, and a curse upon the world.” In the period of the Reformation, Canterbury had a number of religious dignitaries, among which we distinguish Thomas Cranmer, who compiled the first books of prayers and established what was to be the liturgical tradition of the Anglican Church in England.
