    Menús & presentation feedback

    So is the casa rural like a private gîte in France, some of which serve dinner and some don’t, and sometimes the dinner is built in to the price but sometimes it’s extra?

    Menús & presentation feedback

    I didn’t encounter any of this kind of lodging. Is it like a B&B?

    Menús & presentation feedback

    This part is just for food and lodging, but I’ll make sure to put that in one of my others. Probably the introductory presentation.

    Menús & presentation feedback

    I work at REI and am working on a series of short presentations on the Camino, like classes but only 15-20 minutes long. I’ve been trying to find recent pictures of the menú del peregrino and menú del día to give people an idea of what to expect, but haven’t had much luck online. I did my Camino...

    Camino routes map

    I’m looking for a map of all the Camino routes in France that I could possibly hang on the wall. I’ve seen several maps of the routes in Spain, but I haven’t seen any for France. IGN has a map that says it’s a general map (map 922). Does anyone here have that map? Is it a map of all the routes...

    Blogging on the Camino

    I used blogger for mine.

    Miam Miam Dodo app

    I just discovered another perk. You can change the language to English in settings and it’ll make the guide completely in English – all the listings, the cultural points of interest and history, etc. So for those who are hesitant about getting MMDD because it’s all in French, you can get it in...

    Miam Miam Dodo app

    I did go ahead and get one of the guides on the app, from Le Puy to Cahors. It seems to mostly work well, it just doesn’t have websites listed and the pictures don’t show up when you go into a listing. They do show up on the list view, though. And it has all the resources listed, not just those...

    Miam Miam Dodo app

    Has anyone purchased and used electronic versions of the guide through the app? I think it’s new as of 2018. I’m wondering if it’s worth the price and works how it’s supposed to. I haven’t seen any reviews of it yet on the forums. When I did a search the only thing I found was either about the...

    Pilgrim mass script

    I think the blessing would be closest to what I was thinking of. I didn’t go to the early morning mass in Le Puy, but I remember others who did saying that the priest asked where they were all from and gave them a blessing or prayer or something. I stumbled across a blessing this morning while...

    Pilgrim mass script

    That would be great! Thanks!

    Pilgrim mass script

    Not about a druid in ancient times, just one of the main characters (not the protagonist). There are druids now, and I’ve been doing research on that. There was a druid revival in the 18th century, and the neo-pagan community in general is growing with everything from Wicca to druidry to people...

    Pilgrim mass script

    Okay, what I’m understanding is that every single mass follows the same script that doesn’t really deviate, and what is said only depends on the date? I had thought that mass for a gathering of pilgrims might be a little different in wording at some point, where the priest might say something...

    Pilgrim mass script

    Who said I’m writing nonfiction? I’m not Catholic, but that has no bearing on what I might write, or even who might walk the Camino. It’s called research.

    Pilgrim mass script

    Is there a particular script for a pilgrim mass? I’m thinking of including one or two in my Nanowrimo book this year, but I’m not sure if the priests have a standard script that they all use or if it’s just whatever they want to say.

    Ad Astra!

    Ad astra per aspera is actually the motto of my birth state, Kansas. I’ve always liked it, and added it and the cross of St. James to an existing tattoo I had of a Celtic moon and stars.

    Plenary indulgence

    What is the state of grace they're talking about? They don't define it. To gain indulgences, whether plenary or partial, it is necessary that the faithful be in the state of grace at least at the time the indulgenced work is completed.

    Plenary indulgence

    I was doing some reading on Britain's Confraternity of St. James site and it said that the plenary indulgence, in addition to during the Holy Years, "is available on St James’s three feast days (23 May – the Apparition; 25 July – his martyrdom; and 30 December – the translation of the relics)."...

    Create your own route

    Has anyone here ever created your own route? I've thought about doing the Camino starting in Strasbourg, down through the Franche-Comté on the GR 59 and joining up with the route in Geneva rather than from Strasbourg to Vézelay. Would I be able to get stamps to make it official? Plus, I know...

    What's a pilgrim?

    According to dictionary.com a pilgrim is a person who travels to a sacred place for religious purposes (especially if a long distance), a traveler or wanderer (esp. in a foreign land), an original settler in a region, or a newcomer to a region or place (esp. western U.S.). I'm not satisfied...
