What are the reported effects of a pilgrimage to Saint James of Compostela?
score:4
Accepted answer
Though not as holy as Rome or Jerusalem, the Cathedral of Santiago, believed to be the resting place of St. James, did confer special status.
Specifically:
- Pilgrims who completed the journey in a Jubilee Year were often given a plenary indulgence, forgiving them of the (earthly) consequences of a crime.
Additionally:
- There is still a tradition in Flanders of pardoning and releasing one prisoner every year under the condition that this prisoner walks to Santiago wearing a heavy backpack, accompanied by a guard. (from Wikipedia)
