(Are you watching, Tinca?)
A search for this title on my preferred search engine, duckduckgo, threw up what you might imagine: pitches by a range of tour companies, and of course a wiki entry.
In Irish popular history - yes, this is related - a question is asked in song: for what died the sons of Roisin? Relating the question to the Camino, for what did poor old James get transported in a stone boat and end up authoring a long, long story of seeking and arrival, at whatever point of enlightenment, realisation, satisfaction, reparation - whichever was - and is - dominant in the heart of the journey-maker, the pilgrim, the adventurer. (You decide.)
Today was a very significant day in the life of St James, if we are to believe sources.
If you would like to explore that meaning, I recommend a half an hour of watching a video prepared by someone who is a good friend of one pilgrim experienced in all things Camino.
The protagonist in the video gives a two part session on the context and the reality of this day in the life of the Christian church.
Let's not argue about Christian, Catholic, Orthodox...
If by now my words are transgressing rules, this will disappear pronto. Take a screenshot just in case. A pm will let you get the link.
I refuse to wish you happy Good Friday.
I do wish you time and space to ponder.

As far as I can tell, you are posing a question (the answers to which might transgress forum rules about discussion of religion), you want to recommend a video but don't think you should identify it for those reasons, you want people to not argue about different religions, and you are tossing in a challenge to the moderators.

Those factors seem like good reasons for closing the thread to further discussion. People are free to contact you (or me) by private Conversation, for clarification.

If you are keeping score, it is just over 10 hours. Does anyone win a prize?
