Pilgrimage-Journey: At first

At first

When at first you plan to take a pilgrimage it seems that the time is so far away. What can I do to bring it to me this day and all the days until I journey? Today is the first day of my pilgrimage. From today every day is part of the journey and every day after will be the culmination of the pilgrimage.

Camino de Santiago de Compostela

The Camino is a pilgrimage route across northern Spain to Santiago de Compostela and the cathedral where the bones of St. James, apostle of Jesus, are buried beneath one of the chapels. To go on a pilgrimage is to seek enlightenment, forgiveness for sins, or simply to seek out religious relics.

The Camino Frances, from St. Jean Pied de Port in France, over the Pyrenees, and across Galicia to Santiago is one of the most famous and common routes traversed in modern times. The origin of this route is more than a thousand years old and much of its history is lost in time. The route is around 800 km, or 500 miles long.

January, 2012: I've decided to begin my pilgrimage in France, mostly because I have so much time, but also because I have this longing to see the countryside of France. I will begin my trek at the Catedral du Notre Dame de Puy en Velay. This will add an additional 500 miles to my pilgrimage.
