... where was the place which gave you the sense of the Holy? what ever that may mean to you
By miles and miles, O Cebreiro. I arrived there on a cold and windy afternoon and sat in the church for almost an hour.As this is a fairly sensitive bunch I ask the question where was the place which gave you the sense of the Holy? what ever that may mean to you
In the crypt in the basilica at Vezelay. Quite unexpected, as I really wasn't feeling particularly spiritual after five weeks traipsing through the mud of northern France. There seemed to be in there a sense of welcome and rest and warmth and peaceWhere, if anywhere, on the camino have felt a sense of the Holy, what ever that may mean to you, or that deep sense of unworldly peace?
Hmmm. I advice that you do a search in the search box at the top of this forum. You will find a lot. Start with a search for "spiritual" and "journey" separately or together (without the quotes), and read what you get. Then try different words to your likings.I don't think rector was looking for personal spiritual confessions. I am too am interested in knowing if many find this a spiritual journey. I have heard for some it is but for many it isn't. I will be disappointed if it is not for me.
However, after dinner and over a glass or two of wine in an albergue, it can be a very good, private thing to share in a small group. IMHO.
That makes a lot of sense to me, since the Forum is about the Camino.There are those in this forum who are equally passionate about just the experience of the Camino.
I second that!That makes a lot of sense to me, since the Forum is about the Camino.
Better than GPS!Specifically on the Camino del Norte and the Primitivo there is a strong sense of the spiritual, so much so that you can feel if you stray or where it has diverted from the 'old' route.
