El Camino de Santiago

• The Way of St. James or St. James' Way (Galician: O Camiño de Santiago,Spanish: El Camino de Santiago)

• is the pilgrimage route to theCathedral of Santiago de Compostela inGalicia in northwestern Spain, where tradition has it that the remains of theapostle Saint James are buried.

• Legend holds that St. James's remains were carried by boat from Jerusalem to northern Spain where he was buried on the site of what is now the city of Santiago de Compostela.

• The main pilgrimage route to Santiago follows an earlier Roman trade route, which continues to theAtlantic coast of Galicia, ending at Cape Finisterre.

SCALLOP SHELL• The scallop shell, often found on the shores in

Galicia, has long been the symbol of the Camino de Santiago. Over the centuries the scallop shell has taken on mythical, metaphorical and practical meanings, even if its relevance may actually derive from the desire of pilgrims to take home a souvenir.

• After James' death, his disciples shipped his body to the Iberian Peninsula to be buried in what is now Santiago. Off the coast of Spain, a heavy storm hit the ship, and the body was lost to the ocean. After some time, however, it washed ashore undamaged, covered in scallops

• The scallop shell also acts as a metaphor. The grooves in the shell, which meet at a single point, represent the various routes pilgrims traveled, eventually arriving at a single destination: the tomb of James in Santiago de Compostela. The shell is also a metaphor for the pilgrim: As the waves of the ocean wash scallop shells up onto the shores of Galicia, God's hand also guides the pilgrims to Santiago

A  marker in the pavement indicates the route of the Way of St. James through Navarrete, La Rioja, Spain.

PILGRIM STORIES• In the Middle Ages Santiago de Compostela

became a popular sight for pilgrimage. • The pilgrims to the Shrine of St. James at Santiago

de Compostela lead to the construction of a network of roads, churches, and lodging for the convenience of travelers. 5Churches along the way functioned as stops for pilgrims traveling the route. These churches were designed to contain the mass audiences that traveled the routes.6Pilgrims in the tens of thousands traveled throughout Europe to make pilgrimage. These pilgrims were drawn to churches to see the relics that they housed.

• Pilgrims stopped at Churches and homes and told stories – catechized the illiterate.

• Myths arose• Legends• Miracle stories• Illustrated books.• Guide books.

A LegendI have always regretted that We could not find time to make a Pilgrimage to Saint Iago de Compostella. We were informed, ... that the Original of this Shrine and Temple of St. Iago was this. A certain Shepherd saw a bright Light there in the night. Afterwards it was revealed to an Archbishop that St. James was buried there. This laid the Foundation of a Church, and they have built an Altar on the Spot where the Shepherd saw the Light. In the time of the Moors, the People made a Vow, that if the Moors should be driven from this Country, they would give a certain portion of the Income of their Lands to Saint James. The Moors were defeated and expelled and it was reported and believed, that Saint James was in the Battle and fought with a drawn Sword at the head of the Spanish Troops, on Horseback. The People, believing that they owed the Victory to the Saint, very cheerfully fulfilled their Vows by paying the Tribute. ...Upon the Supposition that this is the place of the Sepulchre of Saint James, there are great numbers of Pilgrims, who visit it, every Year, from France, Spain, Italy and other parts of Europe, many of them on foot. ”—Adams Family Papers: An Electronic Archive.
