In Honor of St. Mary Magdalen's Feast Day

Time takes a leap back to the Middle Ages in Vezelay, where the Basilica of Ste.-Madeleine has attracted multitudes of pilgrims for centuries.

The Basilique Ste-Madeleine in Vézelay is the largest Romanesque church in France and only 10 yards shorter than the Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris. As it claimed to guard the relics of St. Mary Magdalen, Vézelay was a major medieval pilgrimage destination. It also saw the launch of the Second and Third Crusades.

Pictures galore there. Have fun!
