  2. Pilgrim Blessing

    In the past have seen postings of a blessing that can be used by priests when a member of the congregation is about to embark on their Camino, but I can't locate it. Would someone post a copy of the traditional blessing used by priests when a person is about to leave for a religious pilgrimage...
  3. Dressy comfortable town shoes!

    Hello everyone! I just completed my first 115km Camino, so right up front: I’m not the most experienced person here and completely acknowledge that. I am Catholic and while deciding on a pair of town shoes, I decided I wanted something that would look nice for church. Yes I know God loves me...

  5. Holy Mass on the Primitivo

    Hola to fellow pilgrims. A quick question - with my son we are flying to Spain next week to start our Camino - so far it looks like starting in Villaviciosa (if we can reasonably get there in the late afternoon after arriving at the Asturias airport) and walking to Oviedo, and then following the...
  6. Can I attend mass or prayers at Armenteira on spiritual variant

    Just crossed over from coastal to central in Tui and wondering about doing the variant spiritual from pontevedra. I would really love to attend some form of mass or prayer.

    I walked the French Way and Pilgrim Masses were offered most evenings of every townI stayed in....I was wondering if there were many Pilgrim Masses besides the Cathedral in Oviedo on the way to Melide? Thanks-
  9. Church Services on the French Camino

    Does anyone have, or does it even exist, a list of churches and service times along the French Way? Is there a usual, or planned time for a evening mass or for a Pilgrims mass along the way. I would like to attend mass especially in the big cities, if I get into town/city in time. thank you...
  10. My journey with faith

    Dear all, Some of you might remember a thread I started last year about what to wear for attending church whilst on the Camino. The thread generated quite a bit of response. I thought it was high time to close the loop. Whilst walking from Porto to Santiago, I attended 3 services, one in...

    I know this is planning WAY in advance, but ... I hope to resume my camino in Burgos in March 2024 and attend the Holy Week ceremonies (Holy Thursday evening, Good Friday afternoon and the Easter Vigil on Saturday evening) in towns as I go. This means I need 3 towns in succession that are big...
  13. Churches and attire?

    When entering Churches in Spain, would it be disrespectful to enter in pilgrims attire? i.e. shorts, and backpack. Might it also matter depending on whether or not they are holding mass at the given time? Thanks for any helpful advice on the matter.
  14. What time is mass in Roncesvalles?

    I read through an incredibly long thread about Roncesvalles - all the good and the bad - and many mentioned attending mass. But no one mentioned what time mass is. I also read a thread that was created to specifically answer this question, but again no one actually posted the time. Anways, that...
  15. Exploring Christian Liturgy and Rituals: A Pilgrim's Guide

    I’m best described as a lapsed Christian. I grew up in a North American baptist tradition and walked away in my late 20s. I’m hoping that my upcoming (first) Camino will allow me to re-connect, if not with my previous beliefs, at least with something more mystical and transcendent than the norms...
  16. Closure of holy buildings

    Over 15 days into this pilgrimage so far and the majority of the holy buildings have been closed, can anyone give more insight or share their own thoughts please? Is this the same situation on other routes and the French way in particular? Regardless of the time they always seem to be closed, it...

    Hello everyone! I am just starting to prep for my camino and wanted to know if there was daily mass available along the central way?

  20. Etiquette/ what to wear at churches

    Hello everyone, I was hoping for a little advice. I would like to visit and attend mass as often as I can along my Camino. I’m not Catholic or even Christian. I understand that I should dress appropriately and plan on bringing a full length jumpsuit, with a shawl to cover my shoulders. If it...
