St. James | Tiny Saint

One of the “Sons of Thunder” and first apostle martyred, James witnessed key moments in Jesus’ ministry. The name Compostela means “Field of Light” and is the name of the end point of the Camino where his tomb is located. Pilgrims on the Camino de Santiago carry the emblematic shell, a sign of honor for having made the long & transformative journey.
