Today is my 9th day on the CF.
I’d like to share an astonishing story how the Camino provided what I searched for in a religious way:
There is the oldest German church song which is sung just once a year in the Eater night: Christ ist erstanden (lots of Kyrie eleison and Halelujah).
It didn’t went out of my head this time. I arrived in SJPP on Easter Monday and started on April 1. Ever humming this song when I walked alone. Well, it’s kind of fitting for Easter week, so why not!
Arriving on my third day in Pamplona, I visited the cathedral with the attached museum. There is this one room where they play Gregorian chants automatically. I was alone at that time in the museum and as soon as I entered that room, exactly that song was played. Hit me like a truck, this can’t be chance, right?
I stayed for a while, but it was played only this one time.
It is a small miracle for me, and the Camino gave me what I needed this early on! Whenever I think of the situation, tears come up. And I always thought, the emotional stage of the Camino would be later on, after the physical and mental one.
I hope you folks like this little story, it really happened, and I needed to spread the word.
