Religion News Service columnist Jana Riess writes about her journey on the Camino de Santiago in Spain.
A pilgrim walks during a stage of the Camino de Santiago in 2022. Religion News Service columnist Jana Riess notes some spiritual moments she experienced during her trek on the famed route.It’s been nearly two months now since I returned from walking part of thein Spain, but for whatever reason I’ve resisted writing about the experience until now. I’m still processing what a remarkable trip it was — and in that sense, the pilgrimage continues.
I had some very meaningful spiritual experiences on the Camino, including one simple but transformative encounter in a church on one of the last few days of walking. I had stopped to light candles for a friend who is experiencing a terrible illness. I must have looked emotional — I thought I was keeping things totally under control, but I have no poker face to speak of.

I certainly thought about God and creation more than I do in my daily life, and I prayed more, even if the prayer was “Oh Lord, please please tell me this is the last hill today.”
