The Symbols that show us the Way
The Camino extends for thousands of miles: Scandinavia is the northern most and the French way was the route traveled by Martin Sheen in The Way. We are the Portuguese Way ( Moniz you know ). The yellow arrows are along the route: roads, paths, neighborhoods, city centers, etc. St.James, the apostle and brother of Jesus, traveled to Iberia and was later executed. The legend says his bones are the church we will attend mass in this coming Sunday. Pilgrims made the journey carrying their walking sticks, their gourds for water and the shell. The shell was used to dip into sources of water and is today the symbol you find along the way. Often it is a tile. The journey is one of sojourners.
