May 2015 Compostelas

[Deleted member 3000]

The number of Compostelas for this month is 31,078 compared to 28,849 in the last Holy Year 2010. It is possible that the annual number this year will exceed the last Holy Year, something that has not occurred since statistics were reliably collected!!

Will be interesting to see June as well.

I left sjpdp on 28th April, but those a couple of days behind me reported 600 left sjpdp on May 1st !

I am not sure what statistic source would be used to estimate the number of pilgrims leaving St. Jean.
It seems one would have to stand at the bridge and count them as they passed.

Not everyone goes to the Pilgrim Office, for any reason. Many do...but many either do not even know it exists or don't have a reason.
Most Pilgrims are not native English speakers and do not frequent this forum...we are a very small fraction of the pilgrim population.

I can't think of any accurate (or even close) estimate of the number of Pilgrims leaving SJPdP on any given day...except a WAG.

I think it was the number that arrived at Roncesvalles. ..... The assumption being, that they had departed St Jean....

Just what I heard on the grapevine ..... from those who stayed there that night. ...

It has not moved yet, at least last week it was still in place.

Well I am on record that I predict the numbers will somewhere between 250,000 to 295,000 with 275,000 as my most likely outcome

The numbers for 2010 were 272, 135

Wasn't there a bet between you and @clearskies somewhere on this forum?

Well if you say so but I don't know if it was @clearskies or somebody else?

I guess now it's up to him to confirm or reject that info

PS (Very sorry if I'm mistaken...)

Well I am actually having dinner with @bsewall next weekend, so I am sure the topic will come for discussion

At the current rate of issuing compostelas, June 2015 will have at least 2,000 more compostelas than in the last Holy Year!
