There was a time being a Catholic in the USA was frowned upon and, sometimes, the Priest would be run out of town on a rail, or worse.
To indicate a Priest was present for Mass a candle would be lit in a specific way, in a specific window.
Welcoming the faithful, especially those looking for the Way, or those who may have lost it...is a long honored tradition.
Buen Camino

A long time ago there was a catapult atop one of the cathedral towers! I rather prefer the light.

Ivar, Thank You! This is such a beautiful photo with all the lights. Are the clocks in the tower functioning?
There was a time when the most substantial and defensible structure in a town was the Church. Here in the USA we have the Alamo in Texas. Therefore, it makes perfect sense that a cathedral, in this case Santiago would have been fortified. In 997, Almanzor, the ruler of al-Andalus, sacked Compostela and set the town, all of its churches, and its cathedral on fire.

I have got my 2021 passports from your office, so now I just wait for better times, again walk to Santiago from San Jean P. d. Port and see the light in the top of the tower.

I'm delighted you've enjoy it: that was the idea
About the lighthouses from your home land, they all are magic, and I'm in love with all of them. Only one thing is better than them: the rest of Bretagne!
