Asked about the pilgrimage the bishop commented: "As a priest, I came several times on the road to Chartres. Today, I come as a bishop. I walked this morning with several chapters, including Saint Cyprien chapter. I come as a bishop to encourage the pilgrims and to pray with them, to be where the sheep [are]."
Here are some pictures from the beginning of the pilgrimage today.
More than 10,000 pilgrims were expected to be in Chartres for the culmination of the pilgrimage.
More to come.
