The Good Friday pilgrimage to Lindisfarne

The Good Friday pilgrimage to Lindisfarne (UK)

For with the flow and ebb, its style

Varies from continent to isle;

Dry shod o'er sands, twice every day,

The pilgrims to the shrine find way;

Twice every day the waves efface

Of staves and sandalled feet the trace.

(Sir Walter Scott)
