“thought as I walked of those who had gone before me. The pilgrimages to Compostela had brought together a cross section of human beings from all over Europe. You could say that the Camino had been the legacy of medieval Christianity attempting to unite, through faith and devotion, many aspects of society involved with art, religion, economics, and cultural pursuits. People from lowly stations and saints and royalty disregarded their social distinctions and national borders in order to worship and find the divine in themselves on the journey to Santiago de Compostela.”
