Ala this post by Fr. Jim Tucker, I think it would be cool to go to a Mozarbic Rite mass in Toledo, Spain.

At 1:40 AM, Mel said...: I REALLY want to do the traditional pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostella. I'm not sure which pilgrimage, cause I could just go from Toledo, or I could go from France. I mean the full deal, where, like, you do a mile on your knees, and then you walk the rest of the way... I think a pilgrimage would be a pretty fabulous experience, and Sanitago de Compostella, besides being one of the top medieval pilgrimage sites, has always interested me on its own, too. Mmm Mozaraby, I am batty for your chanting and crazy for your kharjas.
At 8:52 AM, Matthew said...: Here at Notre Dame, the library has the new Mozarabic missal in Latin. It's huge, the kinda thing you'd want to have on a missal stand on one corner of your work desk to impress visitors. Quite lovely...leather cover with intricate gold decoration and...studs. It's studded! Gotta love that.
