Your pilgrimage begins today as you depart on your overnight flight to Dublin, Ireland. Meals and drinks will be served on board.
After breakfast, we will drive through the countryside to York, the second city of the Realm. This walled city was first a Roman provincial capital called "Eboracum" in AD 71. In 306, Constantine was proclaimed emperor here. In the Fifth century, it was the Anglo-Saxon kingdom of Northumbria and was called "Eoforwic." A church has been here since 627, when the city became an early center of Christian learning. The Archbishop of York holds the title "Primate of England" and is the second only to the Archbishop of Canterbury, who holds the title "Primate of All England" in the Anglican Church. We will tour the massive York Minster and the largest medieval cathedral in England, built in 1080. Finally, we will take a ramble through "the Shambles," a wonderfully preserved medieval quarter. Dinner and overnight at your hotel in York.
