Although physically I may not be in Santiago de Compostela now nevertheless I yearn to hear the cathedral bells peal in celebration of the Feast of St James, July 25.

Within the city multitudes will convene and celebrate this historic Catholic event. Spanish royalty, government officials, church dignitaries, ordinary citizens, and, of course, thousands of actual pilgrims will be present. All will assemble to actively participate in age-old ecclesiastic pageantry and tradition.

Imagine if those present could be magically joined by all past pilgrims. Such a super-giant throng of celebrants would stretch back across one thousand years!

Whatever our ethnicity or beliefs, all pilgrims who walk or have walked the Camino share common bonds. All surely remember their personal thrill on arriving at last at the great cathedral, touching the hallowed stones, weeping with joy, and giving thanks as the great bells tolled.

At home in France I shall, as always, also remember and listen for those far-distant, celebratory bells.

Ultreia!
 
Hey SY, when do you need to know by? I'll likely be back in Santiago from Finisterre then but my flight leaves from Porto the next day so the 24th is still a little up in the air ITO where I'll spend the night.

I would love to be there but I leave Santiago tomorrow morning. Have an incredible celebration.
 
The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
Congrats. Goodness, you have already seen fireworks, had party, whereas it is only 5:24pm in L.A. hours to go before SJD.
