Way of St. James- Abigail

It is a tradition in the northwestern in which people remember that the remains of the Apostol St. James are buried. It is about a pilgrimage route to the Catedral of Santiago de Campostela in Galicia, Spain. This is a route that has existed  for over a thousand years. The history tells that Alfonso II, Asturias' King built a church where Apostol St. James' rests.

Christian people who believes in this tradition goes to the Catedral of Santiago as a penance, or looking forward to their request be made.

In my opinion I would not do that, I think it depends on the faith of each person. I don't believe that is necessary to do things like a penance to receive forgiveness. In our country de route to La Virgen del Cisne, is something like that, but in our days young people doesn't believe in anything, so if they go to this kind of religious activities they did it just like a tradition, but most of them don't think in the true meaning if this. Religion is always a controversial topic, I just think that if you do something to be a better person is well.
