Title: Crusade for peace.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: C-4168 CRUSADE FOR PEACE [2] PARIS -- A kilted Scot is one of the three members of a British group shown here carrying an 86-pound cross during the international peace pilgrimage to Vezelay in central France. Pilgrims from 13 other nations also took part in the unique demonstration. Focal point of the pilgrimage was the ancient abbey in Vezelay where St. Bernard preached the Second Crusade 800 years ago. The pilgrim groups attracted large followings as they carried their crosses through towns and villages where thousands joined them in prayers for peace. American and Canadian crusaders did not reach France in time, but their crosses were borne by French volunteers. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (PA-NY-TFD-7-D-6-C)

Title: Crusade for peace.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: C-4167 CRUSADE FOR PEACE [1] PARIS -- Four hundred and twenty pilgrims from 14 countries gather outside the ancient abbey of Vezelay in central France at the close of a Crusade for Peace hailed as one of the most remarkable religious demonstrations witnessed since the end of the war. The crosses lined up outside the church were carried by pilgrims in an 18-day march on foot through towns and villages where thousands joined them in prayer, many even accompanying the crusaders all the way on their long trek over sun-baked roads. American and Canadian crusaders did not reach France in time for the Crusade, but their crosses were borne by French volunteers. Vezelay is the place where St. Bernard preached the Second Crusade 800 years ago. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (PA-NY-TFD-7D-6-C)
