Book excerpt: This is the story of an Irish father and his 18-year-old daughter and their 900-kilometre walk together across northern Spain along the ancient pilgrim route to the tomb of St James. Peter and Natasha's journey starts in drizzle and wind as they scale Croagh Patrick, Ireland's Holy Mountain in Mayo, before setting off immediately afterwards for the Pyrenees in France. There, they start walking the Camino, the Way of St James, to Santiago de Compostela. It is a gruelling trek over three mountain ranges; through fields and valleys, villages, towns and cities, to the lush countryside and forests of Galicia, and eventually to Finisterre, the pagan end of the earth. Along the way, they meet a motley collection of other pilgrims -- men and women, young and old, from many countries -- with whom they laugh, cry and above all have fun amid moments of high drama, exhilaration and sometimes exhaustion. They run with the bulls and parade in a fiesta; they pray with the faithful, and explore the Camino's rich Christian and pagan history, its tiny churches and majestic cathedrals; they stay in its sometimes Spartan pilgrim hostels and appreciate the richness of living simply, with few possessions, on about 20 each a day. And after five weeks' walking, do they still love each other? Absolutely... and would do it all again tomorrow if they could... -A lovely book for those who have done the Camino, or like me, are thinking of doing it.- The Dubliner -This is a travel book, certainly, but it is much much, more than that. It's about family and friendship and camaraderie, and it is, in the end, a wonderfully warm story about the bond between a loving adventurous father and his daughter ready to embrace the world.- - The Irish Mail on Sunday

Download or read book Along the Way written by Martin Sheen and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2012-05-10 with total page 510 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spanning nearly 50 years of family history, the book chronicles the remarkable lives of two creative talents, Martin Sheen and Emilio Estevez. It's a story of father and son set against the backdrop of Hollywood; this narrative is organized around their physical and spiritual journey along the Camino de Santiago, Spain, the thousand-year-old pilgrimage path which traverses Galicia. It is the area from which Sheen's father emigrated to the U.S. and to which Estevez's own son has returned. Along the Waywill focus not just on the lives these men have chosen as artists, but also (and most importantly) on the one they have lived together. It is a story of family bonds and artistic advances and setbacks; of good choices and hard choices; of opportunities lost and opportunities found. Sheen and Estevez will share what they have experienced and learned from each other in their forty eight years as father and son, as fathers of sons, as actors and director, as spiritual seekers, and as concerned citizens of the world. Readers will meet them as real people rather than icons, as two men who have accumulated decades of wisdom and insight they are now ready to share.

Download or read book Camino de Santiago written by Sangsun Park and published by 오다ODA. This book was released on 2022-04-28 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About this book This book is a diary of what I felt while walking the Camino de Santiago. Camino is translated as road, but in this book, it means the French road, that is, Camino Francés Códex Calixtinus s. Ⅸ, and Camino village refers to the village through which this Camino passes. Records in 2013 and 2017 were reported in parallel. I tried not to stuff the words so that the feeling is not processed. There are some rough expressions. In some cases, the same content is repeated over and over again. Korean dialects are sometimes used. Local language pronunciation is also included. In the French road picture, the route represents the distance on the map, and the trip is the distance recorded with the GPS app. The remaining distance to Santiago is also listed. There was a loving encouragement from my wife Soonjeen. There was the unchanging faith of our children. There was a warm devotion of my wife's elder sister. There was a beautiful friendship of my old respectable friend. Thank you to the people of the Camino who shared comfort and encouragement with Buen Camino. Beware, I dedicate this book to those who died walking the Camino. About Camino de Santiago The Camino de Santiago is the road to the Santiago Cathedral in the city of Santiago de Compostela, in the northwestern part of Spain, where the remains of Saint James are enshrined. One of the twelve apostles, Saint James, was a missionary to the Iberian Peninsula as well as to Judea, and was arrested in Jerusalem in 44 AD and was the first martyrdom of the twelve apostles. In Acts 12:1-2, it is said,'It was about this time that King Herod arrested some who belonged to the church, intending to persecute them. He had James, the brother of John, put to death with the sword.' It is called Santiago in Spanish, Saint James in English, and Saint Jacques in French. Medieval pilgrims departed from their homes on foot or on horseback to go to the Cathedral of Santiago. Currently there are about 100 routes, and new routes are still being created. The four major routes in France, the Swiss route from St. Gallen in Switzerland, and the routes from Portugal and the UK are typical. Statistics show that in 2015 alone, 54,646 pilgrims from 114 countries passed through the Camino Francés, so to say, French roads, through the village of Saint Jean-Feed-fort in southern France. By country, the number of French people is the highest with 9,451, Koreans with 2,939, ranking 7th, Japanese with 523 and Chinese with 133.
Download or read book Miracles on the Camino written by Mike Gardner and published by . This book was released on 2019-06-05 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Camino de Santiago has been a holy pilgrimage across northern Spain for more than a thousand years. When retired journalist Mike Gardner began walking from St. Jean-Pied-de-Port, in April, 2018, he didn't know if he would make it. The Camino is an extraordinary physical challenge of 800 kilometres, taking pilgrims around five weeks to complete - though the majority fail along the way. Mike believes he was accompanied on his pilgrimage by powerful, supernatural forces. He made friends from all over the world and, he says, they were touched by the hand of God. He met cocaine addicts, alcoholics, reformed alcoholics, pilgrims with millions of pounds, one walker who was so poor his budget was five euros a day, airline pilots, plumbers and one amazing lady from New Zealand, who overcame a lifetime of mental anguish, in one divine moment. Mike says he witnessed four miracles, and enjoyed dozens of experiences that were either the result of mystic forces or coincidences that stretch the laws of statistics way, way beyond breaking point. He acquired two sons, three daughters, three sisters and brothers too numerous to put a figure on. His pilgrimage is the essence of everything that is so wonderful about this unique place - there is nowhere like it on Earth. He originally posted his story every day on the internet, as a blog, where he would record his journey on a mobile phone, late at night, and without notes, exhausted but invigorated and keen to put on record his incredible experiences, while everything was fresh in his mind. It was shared all over the world and by the time he reached Santiago, it was being read by thousands of people. This is his story, updated and improved, with more than 70 photographs - it is entirely truthful, uplifting, poignant and ultimately triumphant.
Download or read book A Sense of Direction written by Gideon Lewis-Kraus and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2013-05-07 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In medieval times, a pilgrimage gave the average Joe his only break from the daily grind. For Gideon Lewis-Kraus, it promises a different kind of escape. Determined to avoid the fear and self-sacrifice that kept his father, a gay rabbi, closeted until midlife, he has moved to anything-goes Berlin. But the surfeit of freedom there has begun to paralyze him, and when a friend extends a drunken invitation to join him on an ancient pilgrimage route across Spain, Lewis-Kraus packs his bag, grateful for the chance to wake each morning with a sense of direction. Irreverent, moving, hilarious, and thought-provoking, A Sense of Direction is Lewis-Kraus’s dazzling riff on the perpetual war between discipline and desire, and its attendant casualties. Across three pilgrimages and many hundreds of miles, he completes an idiosyncratic odyssey to the heart of a family mystery and a human dilemma: How do we come to terms with what has been and what is—and find a way forward, with purpose?
