Highways and Byways: A European Pilgrimage (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780852445716)

Hilaire Belloc famously said that 'the Faith is Europe and Europe is the Faith.' Without the perspective of Christianity, a traveller in Europe will miss out on many nuances and depths. This fascinating book follows the highways and byways of Christian Europe, from Andorra to Zaragoza. Some are well known, such as the great cathedrals and shrines, but there are plenty of hidden treasures that deepen and enrich our appreciation of the Faith.

There are tales of heroism and sanctity, of miraculous images that are hidden and then discovered, of missionaries from distant lands and religious exiles, and of surprising British and Irish connections. Following on from the popular Highways and Byways: Discovering Catholic England, this book can be enjoyed from the comfort of the armchair or while on the road.
