Welcoming and Hospitality on the Camino de Santiago. Photographs by Manuel G. Vicente 🗓

Xacobeo_jcr — Thu, 27 Apr 2023 10:49:27 +0000

A creative experience of hospitality and solidarity lived through beside the pilgrims on the Camino de Santiago, in the hostels and at the goal of the Jacobean Pilgrimage.

A shared area of universal values
Hospitality, the welcoming of the pilgrim is a value which for centuries has been considered the cornerstone of the Camino de Santiago. A form of spirituality poetically depicted in the photographs which Manuel G. Vicente took along the Camino, on the route and in hostels during recent decades. The heart-warming welcome is fused with the experience of the encounter, solidarity, friendship and mutual understanding. Added to this are the values of the landscapes, the shared history and culture.

An experience of communication and affection
As the days pass, communication at several levels occurs on the Camino. In the first place, the pilgrim communicates with himself, the interior language is essential in the pilgrimage experience. Introspection leads to reflexive, personalised self-construction, in which each person recreates his experiences through memory and affection.

In the second place, communication is established with the Camino itself and, finally, with the companions on the route, with the “hospitaleros” and the local people. The mental or spiritual space of the Camino de Santiago, evoked and recreated, is shaped through the affectivity of the person experiencing it; towns, cities, historical places and natural landscapes assume affective values in this spontaneous construction. A sensitive framework in which fertile communication takes place among the pilgrims, their natural environment and other persons.

Xacobeo_jcr — Wed, 22 Apr 2020 11:30:01 +0000

The Camino de Santiago is an experience that marks each pilgrim who walks its trails for whatever reason, but for each and every one of us life has changed …

I mean It is these experiences, experiences, sorrows and joys that we want to capture in this project “100 Ways in 100 Stories: short stories to Santiago”.

I mean Words create realities, they remind us of moments, they bring us to the present emotions and sensations of yesterday.

I mean 100 Caminos en 100 Relatos wants to be a showcase for their experiences and a company for pilgrims who want to do the Camino or are already on it.

Exhibition: Galicia: a story in the world 🗓 🗺

Xacobeo_jcr — Fri, 15 Nov 2019 08:54:59 +0000

Galicia, un relato no mundo [Galicia: a story in the world] explores the interaction between the historical land of Galicia and the rest of the world, in a tale that takes us from the Prehistoric Age to the present. It has been conceived as the first of three major exhibitions organised by the Regional Government of Galicia to celebrate the Jacobean Year of 2021, focusing on Galicia’s international relations and its presence in the world.

For the first time ever, outstanding pieces of high symbolic value for the history and culture of our country will be arriving in Galicia for the exhibition. They are currently in prestigious museum collections around the world, such as the Parker Library of Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, the Vatican Apostolic Library, the Library of Arezzo in Italy, and the National Museum of Archaeology in Portugal.

These first-time opportunities include the Lebor Gabála Érenn (Book of Invasions), part of the Book of Leinster, which tells the story of the invasions of Ireland by different peoples, and includes the first known mention of the legendary character Breogán. It will be the first time that this essential work of mediaeval Irish literature has left its country. Also making its first trip to Galicia will be the Sawley Map, considered one of the first European encyclopaedic maps of the world, dating from the period of the Portico of Glory (12th century). It represents the Cathedral of Santiago as the most important building in Europe, among many others of enormous relevance.

Dates: from November 15, 2019 to April 12, 2020

Venue: Museo Centro Gaiás. Cidade da Cultura. Santiago de Compostela

Organizer: Xunta de Galicia and Fundación Cidade da Cultura | Programación del Xacobeo 2021
