May 2nd, 1935: today, 80th anniversary of the first pilgrimage

St Josemaria makes the first Pilgrimage to Sonsoles, in Avila, with D. Ricardo Fernández Vallespín and D. José María Albareda. There he wrote “I saw the May pilgrimage as a custom that should be acquired -that has been acquired- in the Work”. “There in Avila, a Marian custom was born, that will be implanted forever in the Work (Ap. Int. 1270). As a reminder of that pilgrimage, st Josemaria saved in a small box a handful of wheat spikes they picked.
