Channel: Phillip Lucas
Date: 2020-07-05

This video examines the experiences of contemporary Camino de Santiago pilgrims, who are walking the famed pilgrimage route across Northern Spain. Part Two focuses on the Camino from Astorga, through Ponferrada, to Santiago itself. It ends at Finistere, where some hardy pilgrims complete their journeys on the west coast of Galicia. The film highlights pilgrims' voices and perspectives, and situates their travels within the history, traditions, and sacred spaces of Spain. It is designed for a general audience but is appropriate for university-level classes on spirituality, pilgrimage, Catholicism, and world religions. The film also gives information about what to expect for those who wish to make the pilgrimage themselves, and how new pilgrims might better prepare for the journey. CC is available.
