The conference and that survey...light the blue touch paper



Thank you very much for the invitation to speak to you today.

It seems to me that as the world becomes increasingly secular it is important that we find new, effective ways of sharing the Good News.  To do this the church needs to be welcoming and embrace those who believe, those who do not believe and those who are searching for God. In many ways that is the definition of the pilgrim community.
I am a pilgrim. I walked here to Santiago and now I live here. I work as a volunteer in the Pilgrims’ Office through which we have also developed a Welcome Service for Pilgrims. I would like to bring you up to date on this and other developments.
We call the volunteers in this service “Amigos” – and that name defines what they do: they say Welcome and Congratulations in as many languages as they can to the pilgrims who arrive in Santiago. They answer questions, they shake hands, they hug pilgrims and receive many hugs in return. They listen to pilgrim stories both joyful and sad. They provide practical information and they help solve problems.
The Amigos Welcome Service is fully funded by the pilgrim associations who participate and by the volunteers themselves. The model is very simple. We provide an apartment in which the volunteers live, and training and support. The volunteers pay for their flights and all other costs. 
Last year we piloted the scheme and it was hugely successful – volunteers personally welcomed over 100,000 pilgrims.  The service was greatly appreciated by pilgrims, the volunteers themselves and the staff of the Pilgrims’ Office. Last year 26 volunteers took part.

Santiago should be very proud of the fact that this year 100 volunteers are taking part with 60 of them working in the Pilgrims Office and the rest in the associated albergue Fin Del Camino in the Parish of San Antonio in Fontiñas.
This year the Amigos Welcome Service alone is being supported by the pilgrim associations in Canada, Holland, Ireland, the United Kingdom and the United States of America.  These organisations together provide the 10,000 euros it costs to rent accommodation etc. In addition the total the volunteers themselves personally contribute in flights and buying their food is approximately 50,000 euros.


Also the Pilgrim Association in Holland has now opened another apartment for volunteers who are staffing a  Casa Holandesa – a welcome centre for Dutch and Flemish speakers at 29 Rua San Pedro – in total a contribution of another 25000 euros by the organisation and their volunteers.          
I am reporting all of this to you to bring you up to date on developments here in Santiago but also so I can talk about the underlying motives and principles.
Welcoming pilgrims who believe and those who don’t believe is the title of this session. We know from experience that pilgrims of many faiths make the pilgrimage to Santiago.
Spain, France, Italy and Ireland for example are Catholic countries and therefore experience tells us that pilgrims from these countries would say they were Catholic if they were asked. Whether they are active in their faith and attend Mass and the sacraments regularly is another matter. From other countries Germany, England, the United States, come Lutherans, Anglicans, Protestants, Evangelical Christians. I am very pleased that we have people from these traditions here today. We also know from experience that many pilgrims who arrive here have no faith, or have rejected organised religion.

To help me prepare for this session today I thought I would carry out a survey asking pilgrims about themselves and their perceptions of other pilgrims.
This was not a scientific exercise. It is an aid to our discussion and a way of beginning to examine what I think are some of the key issues. The first set of questions is about perceptions...what do you here today think about pilgrims and how does that compare to what pilgrims think about themselves? 

The second set of questions were set to give harder data and ask about the pilgrim's own experience of arriving in Santiago.

Let’s pause for a moment so you can answer the same questions. The questions are on the sheets being passed round.  Please answer them as quickly as you can.

If you have enough courage perhaps you would show your answers to your neighbours.
There are approximately 70 people in this room today – 498 pilgrims answered the same questions. 90% of the respondents come from outside of Spain.

Question 1
So most pilgrims say that they believe in God and they think that other pilgrims do too.
If the vast majority of pilgrims have some faith in God, what percentage attend a religious service regularly?

Question 2
The answer is not all that many.
I asked pilgrims a very general question. Did they think that they and their fellow pilgrims were searching for answers about life, about God about their future.

Question 3

The vast majority of pilgrims say that they, and they think other pilgrims, are searching for answers.
That is certainly my own personal experience and I suspect the experience of many other pilgrims in this room.
Pilgrims might be weak in faith, they might have rejected the church, or simply fallen away, they might be at odds with institutional religion but still they walk, still they search.
From a Christian perspective all of this leads me to only one conclusion:  pilgrims are ripe for evangelisation, they are searching for answers. The next questions follow on from this.
For all pilgrims their destination is here. Santiago.  The tomb of the Saint. The cathedral of Santiago is the Pilgrims’ Church. The town of Santiago and the cathedral of Santiago need to open their arms even wider to embrace pilgrims if we are to help them to be attracted by the values of the Gospels.
There is no doubt in my mind that the cathedral of Santiago is the Mother Church of pilgrims, the Mother Church of the Camino.  What we do here in Santiago should be the model for all Christian welcome along the Camino. The standard should be set here. The welcome in Santiago should be so effective that others aspire to replicate what happens here.
I asked the 498 pilgrims if receiving the Compostela was an important part of their pilgrimage and 91% of them said it was important:
Question 4
I asked pilgrims if attending the Pilgrims’ Mass was important to them and an even higher percentage 93% said it was:
Question 5
Here we need to pause. Because there is also a perception amongst pilgrims that arriving in Santiago is an anti-climax.
Many pilgrims have met friends along the way. That fellowship is part of their spiritual experience.   Soon friends leave, for flights or to walk to Finisterre. Arrival can be joyful but also disappointing. That is why the warmth of our welcome, the openness of our arms and hearts to pilgrims is of fundamental importance. In welcoming and embracing them we are showing them Christ’s love, in congratulating them we are showing them that they are valued, that the church values them, that they can be part of our Christian community.
I am Scottish and Robert Burns is our National Poet. I am paraphrasing a quotation from him:
He prays: “Give us the gift of seeing ourselves as others see us.”

For all of us engaged in Welcoming Pilgrims along the Way to Santiago – whether here at the tomb as Archbishop, in an albergue as a hospitalero, as a religious in a house providing beds and food or simply as a fellow pilgrim living on the camino and opening your home to others – this question is of central importance.
“How do others see us?” “How do pilgrims see us?” The gift of seeing ourselves as others see us requires courage and it requires humility.  I was delighted when I recently attended a Pilgrims' Mass and the Archbishop welcomed pilgrims in 7 languages without notes, the readings of Mass were in different languages. “Pilgrims, this is your home” was the message.  The Cathedral is to be commended for this approach because it has not always felt like that. 59% of the same 498 pilgrims who answered the survey said they didn’t feel welcomed or only a little welcome at the Pilgrims Mass they attended:

Question 6
60% of them said that they only understood a little or nothing of what was being said at the Pilgrims’ Mass:
Question 7
 
And finally 70% said that were only able to participate a little or not at all in the Pilgrims’ Mass.
Question 8
These are challenges and I believe that here in Santiago real progress has been made addressing a number of these issues.
In the Cathedral increasingly I hope that we see the use of more languages of welcome and blessing and more multi lingual information about the Mass.

There is a lot of positive initiatives.  Soon in the Cathedral  the Evening Services for pilgrims will start. German priests and religious will arrive to provide services in German, volunteers are working hard with the staff of the Pilgrims’ Office to personally welcome every pilgrim this year.

As I have told you the Dutch Association have opened up their Casa Holandesa, the Terra Nova Group of Christians intend to open a welcome centre in the heart of the Old Town and in the last week another country based association has decided also to find ways of having a more prominent presence here.  Obviously there is potential for working together in the future.
I would like to finish by looking to the future. By the nature of my work here a lot of what I have said has been about Santiago. As a pilgrim I want to thank everyone engaged in welcoming pilgrims along the way. Many of you have welcomed me.
At events such as these often we share information, we talk about the difficult challenges we face and we share some of the joys too. I think it is also important that we decide what practical action we are going to take before the Second International Congress.   
It would be easy for us to be critical of the church and other faith groups – we can talk about closed churches on the camino, churches where there is no information about mass times, where there is no welcome for pilgrims, no pilgrim blessing, where priests are not interested in pilgrims. The reality is that priests and bishops cannot do everything -  nor should they.
The responsibility for evangelisation and for welcoming pilgrims in that spirit lies with every one of us. The challenge to priests and bishops is that they need to allow us and encourage us to do it.
Therefore I would like to see a small commission or committee established to take forward the issues raised at the Congress, to further encourage solidarity and sharing of those engaged in welcoming and ministering to pilgrims and to develop and share resources such as those in different languages so they can be used along the Camino.

The journey of renewal and re-energising our efforts is only just beginning at this conference – thank you for listening to me and I wish all of you Buen Camino for that journey.

20 things to see and do in Santiago de Compostela


Hola
I'm often asked by pilgrims what there is to do in Santiago. “Lots” is the simple answer. The Tourist Office at number 62 Rúa do Vilar also has information about concerts and events. Here is my list of top 20 visit for pilgrims:

 


Visits in Santiago
  • Take your credencial as many places with an entrance fee offer reductions for pilgrims.
  • Please check the websites of each location as opening hours may vary with the seasons.


2           The Cathedral

The great Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela dominates the medieval city. As other buildings were constructed over time none were allowed to be higher than the towers of the cathedral. Legend has it the Cathdral is the burial place of the remains of St James the Great, one of the apostles of Jesus. It is the destination of the pilgrimage routes also known as the Caminos to Santiago along which pilgrims have travelled for many centuries. In modern times the pilgrimage has seen a revival and in 2012, 198,000 pilgrims who travelled the last 100 kms on foot or on horseback or 200 kms by bicycle received the Compostela, the traditional certificate from the Cathedral. When the Feast of St James (25 July) falls on a Sunday this is designated a Holy Year. A special door called the Holy Door, which is sealed at all other times, is opened during this year. 2010 was the last Holy Year and it is said 12 million people visited the Cathedral amongst which were 272,000 pilgrims who received the Compostela.
The Cathedral is a Romanesqe structure. Building commenced in 1075. There are later Gothic and Baroque additions.
There are number of places to visit within the Cathedral and its precincts. Details are available on the above website.  There is also an audio tour in many languages. You can rent earphones inside the door of the Cathedral which enters from the Praza Praterias.

2          Visit Cathedral Museum
The Museum of the cathedral was opened in 1930. There is much to see. There is access to: the cathedral cloister, in which cathedral canons continue to be buried; parts of the original Archbishop’s palace; and, a balcony on the third floor overlooking Praza do Obradoiro and nearby buildings. In the museum there is a large tapestry collection in addition a display of vestments. Valuable church artefacts can be seen in the Treasury.

There are regular visit to the roof of the cathedral where you actually walk on the roof. The views of Santiago are magnificent. If you wish to understand the guide who will be with you check when there is a tour in English.
To buy tickets enter by the door to the Left of the stairs to the main door of the cathedral.

Excavations in modern times have revealed an extensive burial ground under the cathedral which stretch as far as the High Altar. Scolars now think that perhaps the name “Compostela” comes from the Latin compostare meaning “to bury”.

The “Door of Glory” is the triple portal at the main entrance to the Cathedral through which pilgrims traditionally arrived. It was sculpted in the 12 century by Master Mateo. It is considered to be the finest beauty of the cathedral. The Portico has been closed for restoration and is covered in scaffolding at present. However there are guided tours to examine the design and intricate stone carving.

Every day at 12 noon there is a special mass to welcome pilgrims to Santiago. The Mass beings with a long list being read of the nationalities of pilgrims and their starting points. There follows a sung Mass often with many priests who have walked to Santiago also concelebrating. Look out for their boots under their vestments.Often, but by no means at every Mass, the Botafumeiro is swung. “Botafumeiro” means “incense spreader” and large thuribles were found in many cathedral and large churches in the middle ages. The Botafumeiro in Santiago de Compostela is the largest in the world, weighing 80 kg and measuring 1.60 m in height.  In the Holy Years, whenever St James's Day falls on a Sunday, the Botafumeiro is also attached in all the Pilgrims' Masses. Eight tiraboleiros pull the ropes and bring it into a swinging motion almost to the roof of the transept, reaching speeds of 80 km/h and dispensing thick clouds of incense.

7        Corticela Chapel

If you enter the Cathedral by the door from the Plaza Inmaculada the entrance to the Corticela is immediately on your left. This chapel was once a separate church which over the years as the cathedral expanded became joined to the main building. However it remains a separate parish church with its own Parish Priest and is not under the jurisdiction of the cathedral.
The full name of the parish is the Parish of Santa Maria La Antigua Corticela. The church is the church of “foreigners, pilgrims and people from the Vasque country”. This is the place where pilgrims may get married or have their babies baptised.



8          Visit the Museum of Pilgrimages
There are two and entrance is free:
A          Plaza Platerias – beside the Pilgrims’ Office
B          Rúa San Miguel
The first is the Museum Of Pilgrimages and of Santiago. There is much history of the pilgrimage in relation to Santiago. There are a number of multi-media displays.
The second is the museum of pilgrimages around the world as well as in Santiago.
Both are well worth a visit.

This massive edifice was formerly a Benedictine monastery and is now a museum. Construction started in the 10th Century.
It has a magnificent baldicino over the altar with choir stalls carved in the 17 century. There is a treasury, portrait gallery and representation of the original pharmacy.
  

10        Ciudad la cultura
Exhibitions and the magnificent architecture of Peter Eisenman. The City of Culture is about 30 minutes walking from the Cathedral. The architecture is very interesting. Check in advance if there are any exhibitions to avoid disappointment.

11        The Museum of Galicia
The Museum of Galician life and culture situated at the Puerta del Camino were the Camino Francés enters the medieval city. It is housed in a former Dominican friary

The Galician Museum of Contemporary Art situated at the Puerta del Camino and opposite the Museum of Galicia.

The Eugenio Granell Foundation was created in Santiago de Compostela in 1995 and is housed in a building in the Plaza Toural just along from the Pilgrims Office.
As well as art exhibits, the Foundation also offers theatre, workshops for students and diverse groups, chamber concerts, conferences, guided tours. With each exhibit the Foundation publishes a catalogue. The Foundation also owns a growing library principally dedicated to surrealism and the art of the 20th Century.

14        Casa da Troia museum
Santiago is a university town and in terms time 50,000 students swell the resident population of 95,000 people.
This museum recreates the student atmosphere of the famous boarding house run by 'Doña Generosa' in Santiago de Compostela at the end of the 19th century and immortalized by the writer Alejandro Pérez Lugín in his novel 'La Casa de la Troya'.

Occupying the right hand side of the Plaza Obradoiro the Parador began life in 1499 when it was constructed by Royal command as a hospital for pilgrims. It remained so until in more modern times it became the headquarters of the Faculty of Medicine of the University. Subsequently it became a hotel and part of the Parador network. Therefore it is known as the world’s oldest hotel. The traditional of providing hospitality continues today as the hotel provides 3 free meals per day to the first 10 pilgrims who queue with their Compostela in hand. The meals are provided in the staff restaurant. 
 16        Visit the Colegiata do Sar
The Church of Santa Maria de Sar stands by the river of that name. It is the oldest parish church in Santiago and construction began in the 12 Century. It is very beautiful and boasts a cloister and museum as well as the church itself. It is open daily for visits.

Just 2 minutes walk from the Cathedral lies the monumental church and monastery of San Francisco. Housing a community of friars of the Franciscan Order the buildings date from the 13th Century. As their numbers grew smaller the Franciscans decided on an entrepreneurial initiative and have converted their former monastery into a 4* commercial hotel which is run professionally. The friars now reside in modern but modest accommodation.
San Francisco is also home to a magnificent museum of the Holy Land the heart of which is an impressive model of the Holy Sepulchre which was crafted in Jerusalem over 60 years ago by Franciscan Fray Bartolome de las Heras-Burgos.

The city´s most renowned and admired viewpoint is that of Paseo da Ferradura, located in Alameda Park, on the eastern slope of the Santa Susana hill. From there, there is a spectacular frontal view of the Cathedral rising up majestically over the mass of historical buildings: it is the most photographed postcard, the city´s timeless image. Recommended at any time of day, this viewpoint is a must at night-time to really understand why the Cathedral was and is a spiritual "beacon".
  
19        Monte de Gozo
Monte de Gozo, called “the Mount of Joy” because it is an elevation of land from which pilgrims can see the cathedral of Santiago for the first time. There has been a chapel there since 1105. Nowadays  Monte do Gozo has some tremendous facilities to accommodate pilgrims, which include a shelter with capacity for hundreds of people, restaurant, coffee shop and laundry. It is also the venue for concerts with a capacity of 40,000.
If you wish to walk the last stage of the Camino Francés from Monte de Gozo you can get the bus to the airport and ask them to let you off there.

20        The route of routes
See all of these places and more by downloading the guide to a one or two day walk which traces the entrance of the various camino routes into the city. The route also goes to Monte Pedruso high above the city with spectacular views of Santiago and the surrounding countryside.
