With the support of the Prince of Wales, leading environmental organizations and members of different faiths in Britain have jointly set up the Sacred Land Project to restore more than 2,000 sacred sites throughout Britain, among
them ancient pilgrimage routes, ritual wells and pre-Christian shrines. The inaugural ceremony was held at St Mary's church, Willesden, north-west London. The church - a centre of pilgrimage until the Reformation - has a Black Madonna, and annual pilgrimages still take place today to its well which is believed to have miraculous healing properties.
