The Martyrs Walk:
Take a walk
through the streets of historic London as a group of pilgrims trace the last
steps of the English Martyrs from Tower Hill to Tyburn. Step back in time and
meet several of the Martyrs such as St. Thomas More, St. Henry Morse, St.
Robert Southwell and St. Anne Line and learn how they willingly gave their
lives for the Catholic Faith in England during a time of great persecution
against the Church. London is filled with our Catholic heritage, including
sites of ancient Catholic churches. Most especially is the spot of the infamous
Tyburn tree where many of our English Martyrs stood and witnessed to the Truths
of our Catholic Faith. The Martyrs Walk begins at Tower Hill, pausing at the
very spot where Saints Thomas More and Saint John Fisher were beheaded for
refusing to join King Henry VIII in schism. Tyburn Convent stands by the final
destination of Saints such as Anne Line who worked with the Catholic
underground in Elizabethan England, keeping secret safe houses for priests who
were hunted by the government for celebrating the outlawed Catholic Mass,
Sacraments and devotions.
Steeped in
history, with footage filmed on the 2008 Martyrs Walk, a blend of historic
facts, images and fascinating details, this is an experience in history that
honours the memories of the magnificent, determined and heroic English Martyrs.
