Undoubtedly, the pilgrimage to Compostela unites space and time. But it adds a particular symbolic dimension to them that makes it the quest for the elsewhere, the other and the absolute. As an image of the pilgrimage of human life', the whole formed by the apostolic sanctuary and the path leading to it, thus, acquires a sacred character. |
