Sacred Steps on the Camino April 29, 2009

The story of pilgrimage - "travel for transformation" - inspires 39 photographs, paintings and sketches by eight artists from across the United States and Canada. The Camino de Santiago de Compostela, also known in English as the Way of St. James, is a vast network of pilgrimage routes that in many cases created the highways of medieval Europe. They all have as their final destination the cathedral of the city of Santiago de Compostela in Galicia (northwest Spain), purported home to the remains of St. James the Apostle. Today, scholars and spiritual seekers have begun anew to join the pilgrims, whose numbers approach a quarter million each year.
