I was a computer system administrator for a large medical group in southern California. My parents named me for Saint James and my middle name is Christopher for Saint Christopher, a very Catholic name. The Camino de Santiago came up in my life many times and I dismissed it. After my mother passed away at 94 (she lived a long, good life), on my flight back from the services, the people in the seats next to me were talking about the Camino de Santiago, almost as if someone was tapping me on the shoulder suggesting that it was time to make the pilgrimage. So in honor of my parents who named me for Saint James, I walked the Camino Frances from Saint Jean Pied de Port to Santiago de Compostela and on to Finisterre in the spring of 2016. I became James on the Saint James' Way. It was magical.
