- Camino de Santiago full documentary in english and spanish.
Camino de Santiago (The Way of Saint James) is the perfect mix of touristic-sports adventure and religious sentiment. This documentary shows all of the story from the origins until today.
The discovery of the sepulcher of the Apostle Santiago, in the first third of the IX century, compelled many Christians to make pilgrimages to Compostela doing the Camino de Santiago (Way of Saint James) to worship his relics.
This required the construction of a church. This building, besides guarding and honoring the relics of the Apostle and his disciples Teodoro and Atanasio, had to take in a greater number of pilgrims coming from the Peninsular kingdoms, as well as from the rest of Europe. The purpose of its builders was not only to construct the most perfect church dedicated to the cult of the pilgrims; they wanted to make Compostela a religious and artistic reference for the world, like Rome and Jerusalem.
These are the beginnings of a fascinating story, a fabulous saga spanning centuries carried out
by thousands of people united in their devotion to the figure of the Apostle Santiago, in a remote corner of Finisterre. They called it Compostela: the field of stars.
The present state of the Santiago Cathedral is the result of numerous changes, projects, works, remodeling; in short, an evolving and impassioned architectural and artistic creation developed throughout many centuries.
Camino de Santiago. The Temple of the Stars - Full Documentary
Even though Jerusalem, Rome and Santiago have been the three great destinations for pilgrims
since the Middle Ages, the Camino de Santiago (Way of Saint James) to Santiago is the only one that is still traveled the same way today as it was back then: on foot and with little else than a shoulder pouch.
It had been a long time since news of the discovery of the Santiago sepulcher had reached France. Those were dark and dangerous times.
Terror broke loose when the Saracen army flattened Compostela. Almanzor had destroyed its basilica and other churches and monasteries. Bishop Diego Peláez decided to build a new church
to replace the pre-Romanesque Basilica. We fly over the city of Santiago. From up here, we can see the cathedral and near it, the church of San Félix de Solovio.
And it is in this place where chronicles tell of a hermit known as Pelayo who, as he fasted, observed some lights shining on the ancient Roman citadel. Before such news, the bishop arrived at the site and discovered the entrance to a small sepulcher among the weeds.
A church was built above the sepulcher to worship the Apostle’s relics. Construction was finished in 830 and Bishop Teodomiro consecrated the first Church of Santiago.
In the year 1101, while in Santiago after being named bishop by Pope Paschal II Diego Gelmírez initiated his projects. The first would be the conclusion of the cathedral. It was apparent that if he wanted the Santiago church to become that great Apostolic see, it had to be at the vanguard of art.
To this end, he patronized continuous exchanges between Compostelan builders and the most advanced constructors of the times. Camino de Santiago (The Way of St. James) had definitely become a torrent of culutral and artistic exchange between Galicia and the rest of Europe.
Diego Gelmírez had achieved all of his goals: the construction of the cathedral was well on its way
and it was a benchmark for European Romanesque art;
And finally, on April 21 1211, Archbishop Pedro Muñiz, in the presence of King Alfonso IX,
consecrated the Romanesque cathedral of Santiago. The visits of Pope John Paul II and later Benedict XVI in the Holy Compostelan year of 2010, surrounded by a fervent multitude of pilgrims from all over the world, through Camino de Santiago ( Way of St. James) are a testimony to the magnificent vitality the Jacobean cult has today.
But notwithstanding all the changes, the works of Peláez and Gelmírez, of Masters Bernardo, Esteban, Mateo, and countless others, still remain unaltered and recognizable. In the spaces within its naves, columns, tribunes, chapels and porticos, the spirit of all those who contributed to its erection is conserved.
Thousands of pilgrims from around the world held each year Camino de Santiago (Way of St. James) to venerate the relics of the Apostle. Camino de Santiago (The Way of St. James) ends in the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela.
Went to Compostela on foot 800 kms starting at Saint Jean Pied de Port... Life changing!
Great
WONDERFUL DOCUMENTARY!!! God be blessed for ever!!!
This is the very best film I have ever seen about Santiago de Compostala. We have done the Camino 4 times on four different routes and have been to the Cathedral many times as well as the roof. Thank You for this beautiful portrait of a beautiful place!
It is not about the Camino, it is only about the Catedral. There are a lot in spanish much better than this one. The real Camino finish in Finisterre, not in the Catedral. It's a teluric way and the people was walking this way before the relics.
One glaring error is the mention, several times, that pilgrims make their way to Compostella to "worship" the relics of Santiago. Catholics don't worship saints, they venerate saints. There is a big difference between the two. Catholics worship only God.
+Jo Ann Rademacher
What is the difference.?
+Robin Conkel-hAnnan the triune God, alone, gets adoration, as the source of all graces and ourselves; saints get adulation (dulia), as helpers of His that bring us closer to Him as fellow totally fallen-human examples of how we can be with His grace. The prayers of the righteous availeth much and, though Jesus is the one intercessor between man and The Father, nothing is said in Scripture about intercessors between man and him--especially as who can be more alive than those so uninhibitably spiritually-alive? As long as we don't try to conjure them, it's good. Even Protestants ask for others' prayers, but theirs are limited by fallen humanity; saints are free of that. We can celebrate them and raise them up as God's greatest works--especially his mother!-- by their participation in receiving and utilizing His grace! I hope that helps!
*****
We don't need a sermon here, especially not Catholic.. We are discussing why the Irish accepted Christianity so quickly..
+Robin Conkel-hAnnan You asked Jo Anne why. I told you. The video is about a Catholic place. If you don't want a Catholic to answer you, don't ask a question about the Faith. Go over to some hate church like pretty much all the other fundie churches that overcompensate for ignoring key biblical teachings or humanists that overcompensate for inhumane ideas like abortion and euthenasia by ganging up on Catholics.

The Cathedral is the destination. "EL CAMINO" (The Road) is the Journey. There really needed
to be a Part 2 about the people from all over the world who have been making this pilgrimage
for centuries. Many are neither Catholic nor even Christian or "Theist"- yet they keep coming...
This is a wonderful Documentary. The only thing I do t like is that he uses the word worship. No we Catholics venerate and Honor Saints not worship. Worship is only for our Lord Jesus Christ and his Divinity. 🙏🏼😘✝️❤️
God bless Saint James and God bless great Spain.
I love all you beautiful pilgrims I met on the Way over the years and will continue to meet in my subsequent ones. Buen Camino. God be praised
While historical in tone and content, it did not fail to be reverential, a combination not often found in modern culture.
Excellent doc, heavy on history. I understand that the Camino doesn't call a person, until it does. Am hearing it's call now ....
Eterna suerte pare el que de like
God bless those in the Camino. BUEN CAMINO!
The Camino is a life changing experience and very unique! Great film! Thank you for the history of the Camino Walk!
Excellent documentary with an extremely valuable recounting of the architectural history of this magnificent place.
Thank you, Planet Doc for making this video available.
And thank you to the creators of this beautiful historical video. Instead of concentrating on a narrow aspect of this famous pilgrimage, you've included a broad range of factors such as the important builders, battles, plagues, maps and great details of the pilgrimage churches along the way (especially Conques!) and the grand cathedral in Spain. GOOD JOB. Beautiful, inspirational, faith-building, fascinating. You spanned 1,000 years magnificently.
A special commendation for the part showing the ropes, pulleys and men launching that grand thurible with incense through the nave - breathtaking!!!
Thank you, Miss Jo Ann! I've been grinding my teeth at every mention of worship of the Holy St James' Relics! (As I'm an old woman, tis my jaws, rather than my teeth, grinding; it gives me a roaring headache! 😊)
There must have been a time when the translations weren't of the best OR it came about after the Protestant Revolt & was used to calumniate the believers? But, long enough ago that the Narrator should have checked.
Additionally, he shouldn't be calling the Cathedral a "temple".
Venerate St James , not adore... only God is adored... except for this, thank you for this documentary
(The Way of St. James) should be The Way to … it seems St. James walked to … actually he was buried there and the cathedral was built in the place where it is supposed he was buried … anyway … an extraordinary experience for your body and your mind overall … I walked through the Camino Francés 4 years ago … that changed my view about my life …
I miss it so dearly
I saw this on EWTN. Thanks for posting this!
Reportage d'une incomparable et surprenante passion divine.

Ramond de Vrede in Sri Lanka firsr church for Santiyago is in Mutwal. (Colombo-15). it's Great Church.
I thought I heard the word " adored" in relation to St. Foye, a martyr of the early Church in France. After double checking it was indeed said that the saint was adored. WRONG! It is sad how the separated brothers and sisters still don't get it that we Catholics are not idolaters. Merci.
Thank you for this informative video. I also enjoyed all the accompanying music 🎶.
OUR FAMILIA THANKS DIOS FOR THIS DOCUMENTARY ON ST.JAMES(CAMION DE SANTIAGE) THE TEMPLE OF THE STARS..! SO W.O.W~ AMAZE'IN INLIGHTING FANTASTIC FABULOUSO TERIFFIC MAGNIGICENT MAJESTIC WONDERUFL BEAUTIFUL SPEACHLESS BREATHTAKING ! MUCHAS GRACIAS !...VIVA EL DIOS ,, THANK*YOU* DANTIAGO !...
Well said Jo Ann.
Most non believers and wooden Protestants don't stop to study the Catholic faith and that's why they are misguided in their view of Catholicism.
Wow! I'd love to do this one day. Beautiful video , thank you
Thank you for your insightful and inspiring documentary.
Thx for this footage ;)
What a magnificent work of art.
It's a very thorough and informative video. Infos that we can easily forget but good to know and really keep in mind. The lowtide of the pilgrims can be attributed today , maybe, to the pandemic? Although it might not have affected it too much.
Great documentary, but the title is wrong. The video isn't about the Camino but only about the Cathedral.
Be blessed saint james ..pray for us.!!!
Great Documentary!!
Catholics do not worship relics or statues.
Soldiers do not worship the flag of their country when they salute it, after all it is only a piece of cloth so why are they saluting a piece of cloth on a pole?
It's all symbolic with no worship.
los símbolos son importantes. Son los que a través de la vista te recuerdan tu origen o tu fe. Al igual que la palabra de un mesías o su legado escrito en un libro te marca ese "camino" que has elegido seguir en tu vida. Saludos de un pobre soldado de Dios.
Great documentary. Thanks for sharing. We will be releasing ours soon :)
Much inspiration !
I would absolutely love to go to Compostela.
Very nice documentary!!
Why can't people just respect other people's Faith and Believes? You won't understand what you don't know. A little respect goes a long way...Love to you all, whether you're Catholic or not ❤
Great documentary.
At 36:49 - A Really Nice Look at the Botafumeiro
Awesome and beautiful documentary, I pray one to do the pilmagrage.
A fascinating story, but Sir Francis Drake was not a ‘’pirate’’, he was a privateer. Pirates attacked anyone, privateers only attacked their country’s enemies.
Very good documentary about Santiago cathedral. But remember : It´s the Way. It´s El Camino.
02:24 what is this music??? i love it
GALERA INICIEI ONTEM 20/09 MEU CAMINHO
started yesterday 20/09 MY WAY
Hug to everyone!
Abraço a todos!
Saint Foy is new to me! Reading up on her martyrdom.
wow narrator did great job!!
Awesome!!!!
the crusaders followed this path to the holy land
If the Crusaders had followed the path to Santiago de Compostela they would have ended up in the Atlantic Ocean. The road to Jerusalem in the Holy Land was one of several pilgrimage sites (Rome was another one). As in the movie "Kingdom of Heaven" keep going South until the natives speak Italian. Continue south to the end of the road until you get to the Mediterranean Sea, then catch a boat heading East=easy-peasy...
facinating
Brilliant.
#CaminoDeSantiago2015 Pilgrim here. Thanks,
They worshiped at the tomb. They didn't worship the tomb.
What's The Name Of The Music From 0:07 - 0:33?? Can Someone Tell Me Please?
Were you ever able to find the title of the song in the very beginning of this movie? Please let me know please. I love it so. I thought it might be enya but I still can not figure this out.
for me this is cultural achievement and European heritage i am Atheist
"EL CAMINO" is open to all. If/when you complete your pilgrimage to SANTIAGO DE COMPOSTELA you will go to an office near the Cathedral to get your "Passport" checked in order to get your official "certificate" of completing the pilgrimage. Sometimes the clerks will ask the camineros:"'why did you make this pilgrimage?" You now have plenty of time to think of an answer. They have been doing this for 1000 years. BUEN CAMINO!
Amen
The current vogue for pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostella is surely a revealing phenomenon, but far from an unhealthy one.
...WOW 🥰😇❤
We do not worship relics. It’s more like a cherished photo of a deceased loved one.
Hello everybody.
Just one question (like Colombo 😊 ):
Who is the girl on the beginning 1:57 ?
I would be like meet with her one day in Santiago.
Probably next year?🙋
Or never?😄
I'm serious about this.
P.s.:
Themusic on the beginning is uplifting.👍
All these people disputing the term worship versus venerating. I wonder how many have disputed anything for the church abusing their children...
Who is disputing? Every CATHOLIC agrees that we don’t worship the saints, images or relics. We give them respect, we venerate them.
Someday
The Pilgrimage by Paulo Coelho brought me here
Who else is downing this for school
Why always english docummentaries depicted spanish people as they were middle eastern people, dark skin and with factions so different from the real spaniards? Most of english people vacation in Spain and they know for themselves how spaniards look like, so I wonder what is the purpouse of it.
onna take an idea...umm. god help us all
Hasta el lunes no
Amen! we Honor and Venerate not worship. 😉
Sorry guys but this Hollywood approach for a documentary just doesn’t come across very authentic, .... rather very very cheesy
:)
Comme toujours, on nous considere hors de la chretiente. Voila l'ignorance!
All those demons,,, venerated uuuuuuu,
1 thumbs down for Planet Doc from me. It's hard to mess up such an easy topic but it's filled with bunk from the get go. I wont be watching their productions.
