- Time of past OR future Camino
- First one in 2005 from Moissac, France.
Hi all (nope, not about the Coronavirus) .... a friend who lives out in the country in a large farmhouse (built 1645) has in the downstairs toilet (rest room?) a framed print of the Camino routes, originally printed in 1648.
What I find fascinating is that there are contemporary pilgrims depicted on it, in the corners ... pilgrims who seem to be travelling super-light, horses, a dog (so they went then too), and the first depiction I have seen of a late medieval pilgrim wearing a backpack (which strangely perhaps I found rather exciting), plus, of course, St James himself - but no trailers and no bicycles (no idea why ...............
). Serious crowds in one pic!!!
I find them fascinating .... and thought you might like to see them - apologies for the quality but the map is under glass.
