Maureen O'Riordan in St. Therese's pilgrimage to Rome

 

 This 52-second film, from the time of St. Therese, shows the actual arrival of a train at La Ciotat, near Marseilles.  Therese passed through it on her return from Rome to Lisieux in November 1887.  You can imagine that she was moving among people dressed in this way.  See more details of the pilgrimage to Rome at the Web site of the Archives of the Carmel of Lisieux.
