Description

The Camino de Santiago pilgrimage is exploding in popularity these days, but the modern travellers are part of a tradition that is over 1000 years old.  How did the Camino begin?  Why did medieval people go on pilgrimages anyway?  From drinking wine used to wash skulls, to pilgrims in chains, this episode explores the world of medieval Christianity, and the surprising traditions around pilgrimage, including why the Camino is booming today.  Support this podcast on Patreon at: patreon.com/evaschubert
