On the Roads to Santiago...Walking The Way of St. James
Monday, December 18, 2017 at 04:22PM
During the Middle Ages, the Christian pilgrims of Europe would seek grace by “Walking the Way of Saint James” to Santiago de Compostela, Spain, a legendary pilgrimage, to the resting place of Jesus’s disciple James the Greater, said to have been the son of Mary Magdalene.
This so-called “walk” was, and is today for some, well over 800 miles, requiring weeks and months of overnight rests in forested hostels, cities, monasteries and mountain villages along the ancient routes. The routes themselves cover picturesque roadways and paths dating to the 3rd Century. Little has changed, but greater exposure has meant more "pilgrims"....
The recent New York Times Article
This is not a trek for the fainthearted, but one that has become more popular than ever with our health conscious, experience-seeking 21st century, adventuresome world and its participants who love to trek, regardless of religious beliefs and fervor.
The film follows and tells the stories of a number of them. In 2023 more than 400,000 made it by foot, bicycle, horseback, and donkey, escaping the modern world for weeks and months of walking in foreign lands.
