The city of Trondheim and the diocese of Nidaros are a part of the world wide Green Pilgrimage Network. This week representatives from Europe have been gathered in Trondheim to work on the program for a huge, worldwide conference here next summer.
Parts of our days have been meetings, parts have been getting to know Trondheim better. And the very best thing to do for a pilegrim net work is to do a pilgrimage. Of course it is.
So yesterday we took the tram up to Lian, a restaurant where they serve local food, and where they have a magnificiant view of Trondheim and her surroundings.
One of the first days of October.
Bright. Crisp. Colourful.
A pilgrimage where you leave something, you live something, you walk towards something.
A pilgrimage can be so many things.
It is about life. To live as a pilgrim. On your way.
At the same time living here, now, with an open mind.
Open senses.
Starting up in the hills we walked through the autumn forest.
Towards the city.
Farms.
Villas.
From the quiet to motre and more people.
Always
LIFE
LIVING
Feginsbrekka
The Mountain/hill of joy,
where you see The Goal for the first time.
The cathedral
A rest.
Some refreshments.
Looking for the small signs which show you that you are following The Way
Near the cathedral is a sign, a memorial of Nicolaus Breakspear,
who later become Pope Hadrian IV.
Breakspear was the founder of the diocese of Nidaros,
in 1153.
He came from St.Albans north of London,
where one of the pilgrims, one of the Green Pilgrimage partners lives today.
The Goal.
The Cathedral.
