Small Pilgrim Places are:
- Places with presence, where it’s easy to meditate think and pray
- Celts sometimes describe them as thin places others liminal – thresholds on the edge of mystery;
- Often they are ancient places of worship, still pools of quiet in the midst of restless cities, wayside shrines, prayer stations on a pilgrim path, stone circles, holy wells, quiet gardens…;
- perhaps the home or last resting place of a saint or poet;
- Spiritual Oases, somewhere to take stock and take breath;
