Program Description

Hundreds of millions of pilgrims journey every year to destinations like Jerusalem, Mecca, the River Ganges to name only a few. The Way of St. James, or El Camino de Santiago, is one of these sacred journeys located in northwestern Spain. A pilgrimage since the 9th century, the Camino in recent decades has become a popular pilgrimage route for Christians and non-Christians alike. This course will examine pilgrimage through the narratives and journals of the pilgrims themselves. We will discover their motivations for making these arduous journeys-- healing, penance, adventure - and share in what they discovered in the natural, cultural, and architectural landscape along their routes. This course will meet 5 weeks during the Spring semester in preparation for making a pilgrimage to northwestern Spain and walking the last seven stages of El Camino de Santiago.

Students must place a non-refundable deposit of $500 with Marywood's Cashier's office and immediately bring the deposit receipt along with the two attached completed documents (Program Agreement, HTH Insurance form) to the International Affairs Office, Liberal Arts Center, Room 220 to insure their place on this travel program.
