services at the refuge in Leon were incredibly moving. At vespers<BR>the
Mother Superior gave a homily about pilgrimage that had me in
tears.<BR> The next morning at mass we sat with the nuns in the centuries
old,<BR>carved choir stalls. Many of the pilgrims had already left before the
8<BR>am service. If possible, I would urge you to spend some time in Leon,
if<BR>only to commune with the beautiful stained glass in the cathedral.
I am<BR>told that it is the best preserved and most stunning Medieval glass
in<BR>Spain. It certainly is magnificent.<BR></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
