Follow pilgrims on the Camino de Santiago ending at the famed cathedral of Santiago de Compostela.
For centuries, pilgrims have journeyed along the Camino de Santiago, or St. James’s Way, to the shrine of the apostle James in Santiago de Compostela’s cathedral. Tradition holds that the apostle’s remains rest there, making it one of the most important Christian pilgrimage routes. As Pope Benedict XVI observed, it is “a way sown with fervour, repentance, hospitality, art and culture.” This lecture invites us to follow in the pilgrims’ footsteps, discovering the artistic, cultural, and spiritual treasures along the route, culminating in the magnificent cathedral, rich with traditions and rites.
