    Cathedral Noon Mass July 25

    Today’s Mass at the Cathedral with the Royal Family in attendance and botafumeiro at the end. The young man who does the first reading is one of the staff members at the Pilgrim Office. I believe his name is Santiago (Santi). I worked with him both times that I was there.

    Hey, All! I just wanted to let all of you know that there is only a limited number of tickets each day to go through the Porto de Gloria at the Cathedral here in Santiago, and you have to register for your ticket in advance. I went looking yesterday for a ticket, and wasn't able to find one...

    Jul 25 Mass in Santiago COVID limits

    Does anyone know if it is required or possible to reserve space for Mass (pilgrim or other masses) for Jul 25? I think they are limiting numbers, according to Ivar's YouTube today

    Romanesque doorway in the Lugo Cathedral

    This article describes how a romanesque doorway in the Lugo cathedral, which was covered up during the Baroque era, is going to be uncovered. Such suspense -- no one knows what the doorway looks like, whether there are paintings, what kind of carving, etc, etc.!

    Mass at the Cathedral

    Is the renovation at the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela complete? Will mass be held there on July 25th? Their website shows a schedule for mass at a different location. Appreciate your response😊

    Holy Days celebrated at Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela

    My husband and I walked from Leon to Santiago in October 2019 intending to return in 2020 for the first half. We are now planning that return of SJPDP to Leon in April/May 2022. As the Cathederal was under construction when we were there, even though we will end in Leon, we intend to take the...

    A stained glass window in the Cathedral

    I took this photo in 2014 in the Cathedral of Santiago. Can you tell me where the window is, and, if you know any more about it, I'd like to know it too.

    "Profanation" of the Burgos Cathedral or...art?

    This is as laughable as it is bizarre. I'm surprised that the ecclesiastical authorities gave the thumbs-up to this project. See link to Change.org petition at end of article: https://www.gronze.com/noticias/profanacion-en-catedral-burgos-21652

    The Cathedral as a lighthouse

    During holy years, the clock tower of the cathedral has a light turned on at the top at night. So you can more easily find your way.

    Two original Pórtico de la Gloria statues recovered

    I was doing some googling around to learn more about the extension of the Holy Year (which, it turns out, has been done once before, during the Spanish Civil War), and I came across some very interesting news. After years of battling with the heirs, just this past December the Spanish...

    Botafumiero Schedule

    Based on the information in the Pilgrim Office website, I understand the Botafumiero is used on specific religious holidays and individual/groups can request (and pay) for the Botafumiero to be swung at other times. My questions relates to the later; how do you find out when the Botafumiero...
