Camino Chronicle, Newsletter No 20, March 2017 Camino Chronicle Australian Friends of the Camino Newsletter No 20, March 2017 Page 1 AFotC Newsletter #20 March 2017 CHAIRMAN’S CHAT Robyn Davidson, Australian author and adventurer said: As we've lost this idea of pilgrimage, we've lost this idea of human beings walking for a very, very long time. It does change you. Perhaps some in our community have lost the idea of pilgrimage, but AFotC members haven’t! We appear to have grasped the idea of pilgrimage with fervour and relate to the fact that walking for a very, very long time does change one! We return from our pilgrimages full of ideas – small and large, often with a desire to once again begin walking for a very, very long time . AFotC has reached a landmark! Early in January we issued our thousandth cre- dencial to Margaret, a NSW member who planned to walk the Via Podiensis from Le Puy-en-Velay. Over 50 more credencials have since been issued with many planning the C Francés, some the C Portugués, others the Via De La Plata, and one planning the C Invierno. An indication we are going to be busy this year. January statistics show 19 Aussies were among the 1,355 pilgrims who arrived at the Pilgrim Office in Santiago. It is noteworthy that so many of us are prepared to walk in the depths of a Spanish winter. Granted, it is the best time for many to take a long break, but those 19 pilgrims have chosen the hardships of the wet, cold Spanish winter rather than the sun and surf of summer back home. In 2015 3,856 Aussies reached Santiago de Compostela. As yet 2016 statistics are unavailable but there is likely to be a significant increase. We issued credencials to members planning Caminos along ‘roads less travelled’, far from Santiago. Some have no intention of reaching Santiago and would therefore not show in the statistics. Each year more ‘roads less travelled’ are being developed and becoming more accessible – clearly waymarked, and increasingly well supported with infrastruc- ture. Roads such as the Invierno in Galicia, the San Salvador in Asturias, and other Caminos such as the Ignaciano (see pp8-13 ) and further afield the di Assisi and the Via Francigena . Then there are the paths that stretch down from France (eg from Arles, pp18-19 ), Germany, Holland, even Denmark ( p16 ) and Poland. What a privilege it is to travel on them. To experience all that they have to of- fer, is indeed a special gift. Taking these roads, stepping out of our comfort zone, takes courage, but the rewards are immense. Make your Camino, relish every moment, and return energised for the road ahead. The American journalist, Katie Couric, sums it up nicely: Be fearless. Have the courage to take risks. Go where there are no guarantees. Get out of your com- fort zone even if it means being uncomfortable. The road less travelled is some- times fraught with barricades, bumps and uncharted terrain. But it is on that road where your character is truly tested. And have the courage to accept that you’re not perfect - nothing is and no one is — and that’s OK.

Page 3 AFotC Newsletter #20 March 2017 THE CAMINO INGL ÉS FROM A CORUÑA TO SANTIAGO - PROGRESS AND POTENTIAL From 28 November to 3 December 2016, I participated in an international meeting on the Camino Inglés from A Coruña to Santiago, as the representative of the Australian Friends of the Camino. It was very well organised and led by Lanzada Calatayud, Head of Tourism in the city of A Coruña - and replete with gracious Galician hospitality. This coming together of representatives of pilgrim associations worldwide was convened at very short notice by the council of the large, attractive and histori- cal city of A Coruña in NW Galicia, following the late release of funds to do so. Other pilgrim association representatives able to be at the meeting were from Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Ireland, Hungary, Japan, Norway, South Africa, The Netherlands, UK, and USA. The Camino Inglés This short Camino to Santiago has two starting points - from A Coruña (74.8km to Santiago) and El Ferrol (118.39km to Santiago). In recent years it has been, like the Camino Portugués, experiencing growth in the order of 9% per annum, calculated from the number of pilgrims walking from El Ferrol and receiving a Compostela. The number of pilgrims starting from A Coruña is unknown but is relatively small. It does not reflect that Camino as the well documented main route followed in medieval times by thousands of English, Irish, Scottish, Flemish, and other northern Europeans who sailed across the notorious Bay of Biscay, mainly from ports in southern England. In 1414, for example, the pilgrim William Wey sailed from Plym- outh in 4 days and was astonished to find 84 ships in A Coruña Bay, 37 of them English. El Ferrol was never the main destina- tion for these boats, but it - a smaller city than A Coruña, and which I visited the day before the meeting started - has become the main departure point for the Camino Inglés. This is largely because it is over 100km, long enough to recognise pilgrim commitment with Maps from ‘Camino Inglés a Compostela. book’: Deputación da Coruna, 2nd ed. 2015 AFotC Newsletter #20 March 2017 Page 4 The Compostela itself is a modern recognition which pil- grims value - just as medieval pilgrims valued the shell they acquired in Santiago at the end of their pilgrimage, and wore on their homeward travels as evidence to all of their pilgrim- age. Due to its distance, the Camino from A Coruña is the only Camino which unfortunately is not eligible for a Compostela. Purposes of the meeting One purpose of the meeting was thus to encourage local and international awareness of the historical primacy of the Camino Inglés from A Coruña to Santiago, and gain support for pilgrims completing it to be eligible for a Compostela. A second purpose, achieved by the delegates walking the Camino from A Coruña to Santiago, was to assess and recommend on improvements to the route, its wayfinding, safety, accommodation, cultural and historical awareness, and promotion. Day 1 This started with introductory and historical presentations about A Coruña and the Camino, and presentations by the pilgrim association representatives about their associations. The different sizes and structures of the associations was in- teresting – the Dutch Association for example has 10,000 members. These presentations were followed by questions and discussion, and then a visit to the palatial A Coruña Town Hall for a reception by the English-speaking mayor and others, in the presence of considerable media and photographers – our expe- rience during the whole week. We then broke into three working groups to iden- tify issues for the Camino’s development and promotion. In the evening an inno- vative enjoyable two-hour tour of the old city showed the historical substance it has to offer today’s pilgrims, including being able to walk through the stone gateway by which the medieval pilgrims arrived, the church they attended, and the gateway through which they left for Santiago. More recent features included the floodlit tomb and surrounding park of the revered British General Sir John Moore, located very close to where he was killed by a cannon ball in the Battle of Elvina against Napoleon’s troops in January 1809. A Coruña is also famous for the Tower of Hercules, a massive Roman lighthouse 2000 years old, still in use, and justifiably a UNESCO World Heritage site. It was also the very first thing that medieval pilgrims saw as their boats approached A Coruña. Page 5 AFotC Newsletter #20 March 2017 Days 2-5 On these days the delegates walked the Camino, taking an undemanding 4 days in fine winter sunshine all the way, cold mornings but day temperatures about 18 degrees (it was raining in most other parts of Spain).

EMBODIED CONTESTATION: ALTERNATIVE RITUAL CONCLUSIONS ON THE CAMINO DE SANTIAGO by CLARE VAN HOLM Under the Direction of Kathryn McClymond, PhD ABSTRACT Despite its nearly thousand year history as a Christian penitent ritual, the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage has undergone rapid transformation in the last three decades, attracting a specific community of people who see themselves as “authentic” Camino pilgrims. Upon arrival at the shrine of Santiago, the traditional end of the pilgrimage route, many pilgrims express feelings of dissatisfaction. Drawing upon field research and interviews, this paper analyzes the practices of pilgrims along the Camino de Santiago route, at the shrine in Santiago de Compostela, and at the alternative conclusion site in the Galician coastal town of Finisterre. I argue that pilgrim dissatisfaction relates to pilgrim experiences in Santiago that are incongruous with their pilgrimage up until that point. In response, pilgrims have created alternative ritual conclusions that more closely relate to their experience on the Camino route and affirm their identity as “authentic” pilgrims.

  • The Camino De Santiago IV
    The Camino de Santiago IV In 1491, Finisterre was thought to be the end of the earth. During the Middle Ages, many pilgrims who completed their pilgrimage at the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela would continue their walk, an additional 40 miles or so, to arrive here at the northernmost tip of Spain to look out over the Atlantic, nothing but endless ocean. This was as far as they could walk in this direction; this was their end of the earth. They must have wondered. In 2000, after completing my own pilgrimage, I took a bus to the base of those very same ocean-side bluffs and hiked up their sides so that I, too, could look at what they saw. I sat there for hours, looking. I also wondered. I don’t know what a religious experience is, and for this reason, I cannot say I have ever had such an experience, but I do know that those hours spent looking over the ocean from the end of the earth were memorable ones, hours that will never be erased until I am gone. Perhaps it was the afterglow of accomplishment of having walked 450 miles, perhaps it was the relief I felt because I no longer had to force myself to strap on a backpack and undertake yet another nine-hour walk, or perhaps I was simply on holiday. I do not know. Perhaps it was the stillness of the day or the rustle of the waves below, the touch of salt in the air, or the joyful shriek of the gull.

DRAFT Prologue to Mondariz, Vigo, Santiago. this delightful book gives a wonderful insight into the Edwardian tourist industry and the early promotion of the treasures of galicia in Britain. it points not only to the wonderful cultural and natural heritage on offer but emphasises the quality of the experience and in particular the hospitality received by visitors to Mondariz. Wind the clock forward one hundred years or so and we find the treasures are still ex- tant though the competition for tourism has increased substantially across the globe. From my own experience a recent stay at Balneario de Mondariz perfectly encapsulates all the favourable comments reflected in this book. the conservation of the cultural and natural heritage is of fundamental importance to the well-being of society. the national trust in England, Wales and northern ireland, a non-governmental organisation founded in 1895, is an exemplar in this respect, having today over 4 million members and employing 6000 staff and over 70,000 volunteers. its properties receive over 19 million visitors each year. in galicia the beginnings of such an organisation, in this case tesouros de galicia, is a brilliant and much needed concept and the hope is that, in time, it will spread to the whole of Spain.

Here we will recommend some Camino de Santiago Tours to consider for your next trip. Read More What is the Jacobean Year? Whenever St James´s day (25th July) falls on a Sunday, the cathedral announces it a Holy or Jubilee Year (Xacobeo in the Galician Language). This happens with a regular cadence of 6-5-6-11 years (The last Holy Year was 2010). Next year will be a special year for the city of Santiago de Compostela and the St James Way since they will be celebrating the Holy Year 2021 (Xacobeo). The celebration of each Holy Year grants indulgence to all those faithful who voluntarily meet the following conditions: Visit the Santiago de Compostela Cathedral, in Galicia, Spain. Pray regularly. It is also highly recommended to attend the Holy Mass in / Santiago de Compostela Cathedral. Receive the sacraments of penance and communion in the fifteen days prior to or after visiting the Santiago de Compostela Cathedral. Furthermore, people usually access the cathedral through the Holy Door which only opens on this occasion. If you are lucky during mass at the cathedral the priest (takes quite a few!) will swing on occasion the "Botafumeiro" (An XXL incense burner). It swings up high from nave to nave and weights about 120 pounds! This was to clean the smell in the air since there are so many pilgrims attending the mass. https://youtu.be/MYqfQXPGemA The Camino de Santiago walk is a great way to enjoy / the outdoors following along the ancient Pilgrimage way passing through quaint historic villages, green landscapes, etc..

  • Pilgrimage and Postminimalism in Joby Talbot's Path Of
    PILGRIMAGE AND POSTMINIMALISM IN JOBY TALBOT’S PATH OF MIRACLES by JOY ELIZABETH MEADE Under the Direction of DANIEL BARA ABSTRACT Joby Talbot’s Path of Miracles is a seventy-minute a cappella choral masterwork that portrays the experience of a pilgrim traveling the Camino de Santiago. Composed in 2005 on commission from Nigel Short for his professional choir Tenebrae, Path of Miracles is a modern- day soundtrack of this enduring pilgrimage. This paper examines Path of Miracles from three perspectives: as a representation of pilgrimage, as a reflection of the sacred and secular aspects of the Camino de Santiago, and as an example of a postminimalism in a choral work. Chapter 2 studies Path of Miracles as a musical depiction of common pilgrimage experiences as explained by anthropologists. Modern pilgrimage scholarship examines a person’s motivation to take a pilgrimage, his or her separation from daily life and social status, the re-shaping of a pilgrim’s identity along the journey, the physical effect of constant walking on the mind and body, and the re-entrance of the pilgrim into society. Path of Miracles represents these stages of pilgrimage musically. Additionally, Chapter 2 demonstrates how Path of Miracles is a modern-day, musical depiction of the French route, and this chapter will explore how the piece serves as a musical guidebook, depicting the landscape, cathedrals, cultures, people and sounds found on the Camino Frances. Chapter 3 examines the sacred and secular musical elements found in Path of Miracles, and how these elements portray the dichotomy of religious and non-religious aspects of the Camino’s history.

  • Pilgrims Reflect on the Walking the 500-Mile Camino De Santiago
    Pilgrims reflect on the walking the 500-mile Camino de Santiago If life is a journey, then the Camino de Santiago is the ultimate metaphor. “A friend once told me that once you realize everything you need in life fits in a pack on your back, life becomes a lot easier, except for the realization that a lot of what we have in life is a burden,” said Matt Shepardson, who has walked the Camino three times in the last seven years. “The most prominent experience I’ve ever had in my life is hiking the Camino,” Shepardson, 57, a retired airline pilot who lives northwest of Philadelphia, told Our Sunday Visitor. Shepardson said he hopes to walk The Way of St. James for a fourth time. “It’s become such a part of my existence, there isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t think about something related to the Camino,” he said. A group of hikers walks down steps along the trail of the Camino de Santiago. Photo courtesy of Greg Daly For more than a thousand years, pilgrims have walked hundreds of miles through the countryside in France, Western Europe and the Iberian Peninsula to venerate what tradition holds are the relics of St. James the Great in the Santiago de Compostela Cathedral in the Galicia region of Spain. Shortly after the relics were discovered in the ninth century, the Camino became a majorpilgrimage route. In medieval Europe, countless pilgrims made Santiago one of Christendom’s great pilgrimage destinations, alongside Jerusalem and Rome. St.
