The Way of St. James criss-crosses Western Europe, arriving at Santiago through Northern Spain. It is generally regarded as a journey of the body, mind and spirit. Modern pilgrims choose to do the Camino for personal, spiritual and/or religious reasons - or simply to take time out from their busy, modern lives. For many, the walk is to find inspiration - improving their outlook on life, bringing them into closer contact with nature and expanding their cultural horizons through contact with other pilgrims. Everyone experiences the journey in a different way.

Gift this hand-crafted St. James Cross (believed to promote strength and hope) to inspire your friends or family and help them to be resolute and strong. Would make a lovely gift for a Christian event. Comes gift-wrapped, like all our presents (with an information card) - and we can print a personal message on your behalf.
