Shell of Saint James Peregrinación (Pilgrimage) By Luis Davila http://obichero.blogspot.com.es T ranslation : 'You're going wrong direction! Cathedral's that way!' 'We're going to the electrician's1. He's got more relics!' 1 The Codex Calixtinus disappeared from the Museum of the Cathedral in 2011 and was found in a former Cathedral electrician's flat a year later. The Codex Calixtinus is a 12th-century illuminated manuscript. It was intended as an anthology of background detail and advice for pilgrims following the Way of St. James to the shrine of the apostle Saint James the Great, located in the cathedral of Santiago de Compostela, Galicia (Spain). Shell of Saint James The scallop shell is the traditional emblem of James, son of Zebedee, and is popular with pilgrims on the Way of St James to the apostle's shrine at Santiago de Compostela in Galicia (Spain). Medieval Christians making the pilgrimage to his shrine often wore a scallop shell symbol on their hat or clothes. The pilgrim also carried a scallop shell with him, and would present himself at churches, castles, abbeys etc., where he could expect to be given as much sustenance as he could pick up with one scoop. Probably he would be given oats, barley, and perhaps beer or wine. Thus even the poorest household could give charity without being overburdened. The association of Saint James with the scallop can most likely be traced to the legend that the apostle once rescued a knight covered in scallops. An alternative version of the legend holds that while St. James' remains were being transported to Galicia from Jerusalem, the horse of a knight fell into the water, and emerged covered in the shells.

An Educational Journey on the Camino De Santiago
UNIVERSITY OF VERMONT SUMMER 2017 (May 23 - June 1) Hiking Through History: An Educational Journey on the Camino de Santiago McKew Devitt, Senior Lecturer Romance Languages The Camino de Santiago is truly an amazing cultural experience. The ‘Way of St. James’ is a pilgrimage route that transverses the northern part of Spain, starting at two points at the border with France and ending in the city of Santiago de Compostela in the province of Galicia. The trail offers a plethora of historical, religious, and cultural contexts to teach students about Spain and also its relation to Europe. From its origins during the times of the reconquista to its current status as UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Camino provides a unique opportunity for students who are interested in seeing Spain while following in the footsteps of hundreds of thousands of pilgrims who came before them. I have hiked the Camino several times and know first-hand the benefits it would offer students participating in a travel study course. We will start in the city of León and finish in Santiago de Compostela 12 days later, having covered 281 kilometers, or 175 miles. We will also be spending a full day in Madrid and have time to see the Prado museum and some of the other sites the capital has to offer. The intention for this course is to develop a travel study opportunity that would offer a once in a lifetime experience, an opportunity to see Spain from the unique perspective of the Camino. This course presents a challenge for anyone, no matter how physically fit they may be, and this should be a serious consideration before signing up for it.

Path of Miracles and the Pilgrimage to Santiago
Path of Miracles – Further Reading The world’s most enduring route of Catholic pilgrimage was first formally acknowledged as such by Bishop Diego Gelmirez in the early 12th Century, but it has always belonged to a wider fellowship even than the Catholic church. Long before the body of St James was discovered in Iria Flavia in the early 9th Century, and brought to its final resting place in Santiago; before the Saint even began his life of service, first as an apostle, and later as a preacher in Spain, the ‘Camino Frances’ was under construction. Part of the route still runs along the sturdy Roman roads which were used to subdue and colonise northern Iberia. To the pre-Christians, this road followed the path of the Milky Way, and took its travellers to the end of the earth. Centuries later, it was used by the Moors to reach Spain’s northern outposts, only to be pushed back along it by Charlemagne, and served as an arterial route for the establishment of the Roman Rite and the purging of its Hispanic predecessor. Today it is used by tourists, travellers and explorers, as well as by confirmed Catholics and the spiritually curious. The musical traditions of the Pilgrimage can be traced to the mid-12th Century, when a compilation of texts attributed to Pope Calixtus II was created, all devoted to the cult of St James. This so-called ‘Codex Calixtinus’ was specifically designed to serve the needs of worshippers and pilgrims in Santiago, and consisted of five books. The first volume contains liturgical settings, including those for the two feast days devoted to St James: the Feast of the Passion of St James on the 25th of July, and the Feast of Translation of the Apostles remains on the 30th of December.

To Be a Pilgrim: a Contested Identity on Saint James' Way
View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE François Cazaux To be a pilgrim: A contested identity on Saint James' Way Abstract Saint James' Way, after having almost disappeared from memory in the 20th century, has been the object of renewed interest over the last twenty years or so, becoming one of the most highly publicised pilgrimage routes of our time. Structured and institutionalised since the Middle Ages, this pilgrimage path is today, as in the past, at the origin of a prosperous economy in the regions it crosses. However, it is far from these considerations that, each year, an increasing number of individuals decide to leave their home to go walking towards the apostle's grave. Considering the tension between tradition and modernity, in this paper I will analyse the extent to which this "invented" space is at the same time a source of dissent between the diff erent actors, while crystallizing the expectations, hopes and doubts of thou- sands of individuals in Western society, individuals who constantly redefi ne this space by endowing a new identity, the one of pilgrims of Saint James. Key words: pilgrimage; pilgrim; identity; contestation; Saint James Way; Camino francés; Spain Introduction At six o'clock, suddenly and unexpectedly, the lights turned on. And while Paul, a for- ty-year old sporty-looking man asks that we turn them off , a young German next to us curses. Th e hospitaliero announces it is time to leave. Less than one hour later, pilgrims have packed up and left the albergue.

Evangelical Christians' Reflections Along the Way of St. James
9th Annual International Religious Tourism and Pilgrimage Conference : Evangelical Christians’ Reflections Along the Way of St. James Sharenda Holland Barlar Wheaton College, United States [email protected] Sharenda Holland Barlar is an Associate Lecturer of Spanish at Wheaton College in Wheaton, Illinois. Currently she is researching the Pilgrimage to the Way of St. James in Spain. This summer she accompanied 8 students on the Camino where they studied the history, literature, art, of the medieval pilgrimage. Abstract Historically, Protestants and Evangelicals in particular have rejected the notion of pilgrimage to visit a saint or holy site. Recently, however, there has been an increased interest and acceptance of pilgrimage to non-traditionally Protestant locations. The Camino de Santiago de Compostela pilgrimage in Spain is growing in popularity among Protestants who seek a prolonged period of meditation, retreat, and prayer. Since a religious pilgrim by definition is someone who travels to pay penance for their sins, how does the Protestant idea of grace and not works affect the evangelical pilgrim? Of particular interest to me is how evangelical students from Wheaton College will interpret the Camino after walking it in the summer of 2017. How do other religious pilgrims differ from evangelical pilgrims? What language does the pilgrim use to describe their journey along the Camino? What biases are the students bringing with them as evangelicals or are they open and willing to embrace other views of the transformative experience? How does pain and suffering affect the evangelical pilgrim? Since suffering is not emphasised in protestant traditions like it is in other religions, will students see that as an opportunity for spiritual growth? Introduction There are several legends throughout history that begin the story of St.

HOLY WAR, CRUSADE AND RECONQUISTA IN RECENT ANGLO-AMERICAN HISTORIOGRAPHY ABOUT THE IBERIAN PENINSULA CARLOS LALIENA UNIVERSIDAD DE ZARAGOZA SpaIN Date of receipt: 5th of September, 2013 Final date of acceptance: 16th of December, 2014 ABSTRACT In contemporary Western societies, who are going through a neo-romantic stage, the Crusades have led to an immense literature and a remarkable popularity. In the scientific field, this phenomenon has encouraged the debate on the ideological and cultural issues surrounding Crusade. Since that in the Iberian Peninsula had developed fights between Muslims and Christians before 1096, it is inevitable that historians have wondered about the influence of the reconquest in the origins of the crusading movement. In this paper, we critized the widespread view among Anglo-Saxon historians, according to which secular piety and spirituality were instrumental in the development of the First Crusade, and struggles carried out in the Iberian Peninsula did not influence in the extraordinary adhesion of the European nobles to this issue. In addition, other concepts that may help to explain the intensity of the response, such as “aristocratic networks,” and at the same time help to understand the weight of the Hispanic experience in this movement1.

Introduction1 Even before the economic crisis, the recent turn of the century was characterised by an exceptional tide of pessimism, shown by the success of fictional works describing planetary catastrophes or post-apocalyptic societies, where the return to an almost primordial violence recalls many images of the medieval universe in the media.
