Tradition holds that Saint James’ remains are buried. Established after the discovery of his relics at the beginning of the 9th century, the Camino de Santiago became a major pilgrimage route of medieval Christians from the 10th century on. Pope Alexander VI officially declared the Way of Saint James to be one of the "three great pilgrimages of Christendom", along with Jerusalem and Rome. The Way of St. James weaves through Western Europe, arriving at Santiago through Northern Spain. Every year, some 250,000 pilgrims complete the final 62 mile walk of the Camino de Santiago. They come from all four corners of the earth, with many originating from the United States and Canada, Ireland, Germany, France and Portugal. Pilgrims come mainly on foot and often from nearby cities, requiring several days of walking to reach Santiago. The pilgrimage is generally regarded as a journey of the body, mind and spirit. More than just a simple walk, the Camino is special because of the community of fellow pilgrims, the stories they share and the challenges people overcome. Pilgrims choose to do the Camino for personal, spiritual and religious reasons. For many, the walk is to find inspiration – improving their outlook on life, bringing them into closer contact with nature and expanding their cultural horizons through contact with other pilgrims. Everyone experiences the journey in a different way. THE CROSS OF SAINT JAMES: also known as the Santiago Cross (Cruz Espada or La Cruz de Santiago) is said to promote courage, strength and hope. Saint James the Great is the Patron Saint of all Spain and, according to Don Quixote in Cervantes’ book: “St. James has been given by God to Spain for its protection”. He is said to have appeared at the Battle of Clavio in the Spanish victory over the Moors. His cross is widely used throughout Spain and Portugal and has become the symbol of the Camino de Santiago journey… his journey, and the camino of one’s life as a whole. The scallop shell, found on the shores in Galicia, another common sight along the Camino, has also long been the symbol of the Camino de Santiago. Over the centuries the scallop shell has taken on a variety of meanings, metaphorical, practical, and mythical – even if its relevance may have actually derived from the desire of pilgrims to take home a souvenir. The scallop shell serves as a guide for pilgrims along the route. Most pilgrims receive a shell at the beginning of their journey and display it throughout their journey.SANTIAGO DE COMPOSTELA: is the capital of the community of Galicia in northwestern Spain. The city has its origin in the shrine of Saint James the Great, now the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela, which is the famous destination of the Way of St. James, a leading Catholic pilgrimage route since the 9th century. The legend that St James found his way to the Iberian Peninsula and had preached there is one of a number of early traditions concerning the missionary activities and final resting places of the apostle of Jesus.AZABACHE: Long ago, pilgrims to the Camino de Santiago in Santiago de Compostela would wear the stone to guard themselves from evil and some would carve their memories of their journey into the stone itself. Azabache is still widely popular around the world and you will find many shops in Santiago de Compostela selling it in a variety of forms. It is also often carved into the well-known scallop shell and other shapes representing the pilgrimage. Otherwise known as Jet stone, it is found in the northern coast of Spain. The stone, which shines bright when polished, was a very popular charm from the 16th century when it was highly valued due to the belief around the stone’s spiritual abilities. Naturally occurring Jet is an actual gem from the decomposition of wood from millions of years in the past and can be dated to over 150 million years old. Azabache is magical and protective amulet. Today, the stone is still known to bring good fortune, rid one of negative energy, and protect those who wear it from fear, indecisiveness and the harmful gaze and malevolent stare of the Evil Eye (Mal de Ojo). The power of the stone to absorb the energy dispersed from the Evil Eye is the primary purpose of adorning oneself with an Azabache. ------------------------♡ Your bracelet will come with a burlap gift pouch and instruction tips on how to best care for your jewelry. Your order will ship using Earth-friendly, recycled, environmentally-conscious packing materials. Gift wrapping is also available.♡ CARE INSTRUCTIONS ♡ Your stretch bracelet is handcrafted to be strong and lasting, but the elastic, stones, and beads are not eternal. Likewise, almost all metal discolors over time. Therefore, gold and silver plating – known for its beauty and affordability – requires care. You can prolong the finish of your jewelry as well as the vibrancy of your gemstones by following these simple tips:> DO NOT GET YOUR BRACELET WET ~ Keep your jewelry away from moisture. It is best to remove your bracelet before washing your hands, showering, exercising and swimming since contact with moisture can break down the elastic, ruin finishes and tarnish metals and charms. > AVOID CONTACT WITH CHEMICALS ~ Perfume, soap, moisturizer, lotion, hand sanitizer or other chemicals can weaken the elastic, harm natural crystals and result in the discoloration and peeling of beads and gemstones. Be careful.> AVOID HEAT EXPOSURE ~ Leaving your bracelet in sunlight or exposed to heat for an extended period of time may lead to elastic erosion and can cause beads and metal to discolor. Remove your bracelet while exercising.> ROLL IT ON AND OFF ~ Do not over-stretch your bracelet! It has been made with pre-stretched elastic. Over-stretching it beyond its capacity will cause it to break. To keep from overly stretching it to put it on and off, slide your fingers into the bracelet first, then gently roll the beads over your knuckles and then onto your wrist. Do the same when taking your bracelet off.> STORE SAFELY ~ Always store your jewelry safely in a soft pouch, soft cloth – or secure in a box or drawer – separate from other jewelry. Never wear your jewelry to bed and remove when sleeping. Use a soft microfiber cloth to polish.♡ HANDCRAFTED JEWELRY ♡All of the jewelry in my shop is constructed one at a time and therefore no two will be exactly alike. Natural beads and stones often contain slight imperfections, blemishes, variations and inclusions. I always do my best to accurately reproduce the designs portrayed in my shop. Please note also that photography presents differently on varying devices.♡ Jewelry for sale in my shop is handcrafted with small components and is therefore unintended for children.
