Pilgrimage Stations

Notes:

Jerusalem Cross:
The Jerusalem cross predates Godfrey's adoption of it; in fact, it can be traced to
Charlemagne in the year 800. "It consists of five red and gold trimmed crosses,
with a gallow cross in the center, inset at the intersections with four small Greek
crosses, representing the five wounds of Christ."

Margery Kempe's Pilgrimage to Jerusalem in 1413. Very unusual for a woman at
the time. Her travails during and after were widely publicised.
