A german story of pilgrimage

This is the story of Sarah, a German girl telling her story of her camino. Never alone on holidays, not a hiking type, no idea why she started.

Walking the Camino del Norte, switching to the Camino Frances where she encountered as many pilgrims in the first hour as she saw on the whole of the del Norte.

Khumb Mela

"Kumbh Mela or Kumbha Mela is a mass Hindu pilgrimage of faith in which Hindus gather to bathe in a sacred river.

Traditionally, four fairs are widely recognized as the Kumbh Melas:

the Haridwar Kumbh Mela, the Allahabad Kumbh Mela,

the Nashik-Trimbakeshwar Simhastha and the Ujjain Simhastha,

These four fairs are held periodically at one of the following places by rotation: Haridwar, Allahabad, Nashik and Ujjain.

The main festival site is located on the banks of a river the Ganges

(Ganga) at Haridwar, the confluence of the Ganges and the Yamuna and the mythical Sarasvati at Allahabad, the Godavari at Nashik and the Shipra at Ujjain.

Bathing in these rivers is thought to cleanse a person of all sins.

At any given place, the Kumbh Mela is held once in 12 years. "

Tour de Saint Jacques, Paris

"The tower's rich decoration reflects the wealth of its patrons, the wholesale butchers of the nearby Les Halles market. The masons in charge were Jean de Felin, Julien Ménart and Jean de Revier. It was built in 1509 to 1523, during the reign of King Francis I. With a dedication to Saint James the Great, the ancient church[2] and its landmark tower welcomed pilgrims setting out on the road that led to Tours and headed for the way of St James, which led to the major pilgrimage destination of Santiago de Compostela. A relic of the saint preserved in the church linked it the more strongly and in modern times occasioned its listing in 1998 as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO among the sites and structures marking the chemins de Compostelle, the pilgrimage routes in France that led like tributaries of a great stream headed towards Santiago in the northwest of Spain."

Drone footage Roncesvalles and Casa de los Dios

Some time ago The Pilgrims Gaze presented a collection of drone movies of several villages and cathedrals. You can see them here.

As popularity of drone usage rises, more movies will appear.

As popularity of walking the camino rises.... ;-)

Today some additions.

The first one is a famous location on the Camino Frances, the location of Dave, the Casa de los Dios in San Justo de la Vega.

Russia Velikoretsky Procession

The revival of pilgrimage isn't a local phenomenon. I like to introduce you to one of the many Russian pilgrimage sites:
the Velikoretsky Procession of the Cross.

A large route where pilgrims walk about 150 kilometers

following the icon of St Nicolas / St Nicolay.

I provided two links for extra information and a link to the site of photographer Sandra Reddin.
