Paths of life
The scallop shell is an ancient symbol of pilgrimage. As a nod to the town’s importance as a place of pilgrimage we have amassed 1300 scallop shells. Collect yours from St Mary’s Church any time during the festival and give it a person who is special to you or place it somewhere meaningful to you. We hope that these scallop shells will travel around the world from person to person and from place to place!
