Holy year Compostela

I know that there is a Holy year credential, but is there a special Holy year compostela that looks any different from the ordinary one.
 
3rd Edition. More content, training & pack guides avoid common mistakes, bed bugs etc
My 2004 Compostela has "Annus Sanctus" written on it.
Otherwise, it is identical to my 2006 Compostela.

I don't know the answer to your question Ian- though I imagine Johnnie Walker probably does.... but in looking to see if I could find an answer, I stumbled upon this account of the opening of the Holy Year, that has some superb photos of the Archbishop 'opening' the wall. You just need to scroll down past the 'headlines' at the top.

Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

€46,-
The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.
