Book Synopsis The Northern Caminos - The Norte,Primitivo,& Muxia. by : Richard Parkes
Download or read book The Northern Caminos - The Norte,Primitivo,& Muxia. written by Richard Parkes and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2019-10-28 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Camino del Norte follows the coast from Irun, on the French Border, to Ribadeo then going south on the inland route to Santiago some 817km. The full route takes some 5 weeks to complete. Our route split off onto the Primitivo near Villaviciosa and passed through Oviedo and Lugo onto Melide where we joined the Camino Francis then onto Compostela. Passing though the regions of Basque Country, Cantabria Asturias and Galicia. The Northern caminos are less crowded and include great coastal walking and some low mountain climbing. They have good facilities and are well waymarked and one does not have hordes of Pilgrims, though enough to make the meeting of people a pleasant experience. There is evidence that the coastal caminos existed in the ninth and tenth centuries, and Primitivo does not suggest a lack of civilization but the fact that some people believe it was the first route as expressed by David at the Bodenaya albergue. In 2018 19,040 pilgrims travelled the Norte and 15,038 the Primitivo.

To mark his 50th birthday, the brilliant Norwegian cartoonist Jason decided that walking the length of the Camino was what he needed to do. On the Camino is Jason’s memoir of that trek — 32 days and 500 miles from St. Jean Pied de Port to Finisterre, observing with the eye of an artist, chronicling both the good (people, conversations) and the bad (blisters, bedbugs). Full of quiet incidents, odd encounters, small triumphs, and the occasional setback, On the Camino is the latest graphic novel by a master cartoonist.

Book Synopsis The First Pilgrim by : Terence Callery
Download or read book The First Pilgrim written by Terence Callery and published by . This book was released on 2020-10-28 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: They were long-shot underdogs and if they were to survive, they needed a miracle.The armies of Islam had swept like wildfire into the Iberia peninsula. By the beginning of the 9th century, King Alfonso's Kingdom of Asturias was one of a couple of enclaves of Christianity remaining in Espania. It was the year 814 and King Alfonso II had just received word that Charlemagne, the Frankish conqueror and protector of the Catholic Church, was dead. Alfonso's small northern kingdom was no match for the Caliphate of Cordoba which had orchestrated a vast economic revival known as the Andalusian Enlightenment in the south. The sophisticated Arabs minted silver coins, printed paper, read poetry, funded massive libraries, reconfigured the old Roman trading routes and created a far reaching Islamic legal system. The armies of Islam were large, disciplined and well-armed.By contrast, King Alfonso's kingdom was a land of small farms with little in the way of urban culture, learning, industry or secular institutions. His people were resigned to a meager subsistence economy based on agriculture, fishing and herding. The standing army was small, but the men of Asturias were excellent horsemen and skilled at "hit and run" mountain warfare. The miracle they sought arrived with the news that the beheaded body of Saint James the Apostle was found by a wandering hermit in a Roman cemetery in Galicia. Alfonso's kingdom might now have the powerful protection of a patron saint. The local Catholic bishop asked King Alfonso to make a pilgrimage to the burial site to confirm the identity of the body and to grant royal protection to the shrine that would be built there. In time, the place would become the holy city of Santiago de Compostela and the path to it would be known as the Camino.This is the story of the first pilgrimage.Accompanying King Alfonso is his Benedictine confessor Father Julian who foresees how Saint James would unite the Christian kingdoms and help to drive the Moors out of Spain. Musa is Alfonso's foreign minister, born to an Arab father and a Jewish mother - he is a worldly traveler and is married to Doctor Ruth, a skilled herbalist and physician. All four characters are transformed by the inner journey of their spiritual pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela. But Musa is skeptical about the beheaded body that was found in an unmarked grave with no clues left behind to identify it. If it is not the remains of Saint James, then who is buried in the grave?The First Pilgrim is an account of the aspirations of a nation, the determination of its King and the faith of its people. It is also a medieval detective mystery.
