[Ansteorra-announce] Fw: Pilgrimage to St. Adalbert's, April 4-6, 2003

[Carolle Ternus]

> Greetings to Ansteorra from Bjornsborg.
>
> Spring will be upon us soon, and with it, come pilgrims.  The great
pilgrimage
> roads, to Rome, the Holy Land and Santiago de Compostela, were dotted with
> lesser pilgrimage sites.  These places vied with each other for pilgrims'
> patronage.  The Barony of Bjornsborg invites Ansteorra to take pilgrimage
to
> Savernake and the Chapel of Saint Adalbert.
>
> Tales of pilgrimage are filled with eccentrics like Margery Kempe, relic
theft
> like that which made Saint Foy famous, dishonest hostelers, pork chops
dancing
> with divine life and the wonderful characters of The Canterbury Tales.
Surely
> only part of what you may find at St. Adalbert's.
>
> For those gentles looking to hire on as pilgrims' guards, there will be a
> progressive melee in both chivalric and rapier styles.  Please bring
something
> to add to the "Hire" chest which will also contain a special prize for the
head
> of each victorious group.
>
> There will be a Knife, Axe and Spear Throw competition.
>
> Artisans may compete with one another, "offering" their arts to St.
Adalbert
> and receiving great reward. Only appropriate works may compete. (i.e.
theme is
> religious art in any medium. There will be static and performance
competitions.)
>
> The local inn will serve good, hearty food.  Check the website for updates
on
> menu and recipes.
>
> The Ansteorran Longship Company will offer their famous omelet breakfast
on
> Sunday Morning.
