About Boxing Day Pilgrimage, Ripon
Eucharist for St Stephen’s Day and Pilgrimage to Fountains Abbey, retracing the steps of the abbey’s founders centuries ago.
Join us in a pilgrimage to Fountains Abbey following in the footsteps of those who walked from Ripon and founded Fountains Abbey, ending with a short service of carols with in the cellarium.
Entry to Fountains Abbey is free to non NT members until 12noon on Boxing Day when the service starts.
On a cold day in 1132, thirteen monks walked from Ripon to a completely deserted valley by the River Skell. There they started their own community from nothing and so, Fountains Abbey was born! You too can follow the monks in their footsteps in this annual traditional pilgrimage. It will begin at Ripon Cathedral with a celebration of Eucharist and end with a service of carols and prayers in the abbey cellarium.
