The Pilgrim Sock - Holy Socks

The Pilgrim Sock

"Blessed are those whose strength is in you, whose hearts are set on pilgrimage."  Psalm 84, 5

We may all have a favourite place of pilgrimage but based as Holy Socks is, in South West Scotland, it seemed natural for us to illustrate this verse with the view from St. Ninian's Cave near Whithorn, where Christianity first came to Scotland. What is pilgrimage and how does it differ from life as a journey?   The message is not confined to Whithorn and is applicable to any pilgrim setting - and any pilgrim.
