Camino Photo of the Day: Santiago de Boente

[thomryng]

This rustic statue of Santiago resides in the high altar of the Igrexa Parroquial de Santiago de Boente. While it’s no work of high art, it has a certain primitive charm that has made it iconic on this part of the Camino. Holy cards featuring the image and a passport stamp are always cheerfully given, which last long after you’ve returned home, so perhaps this image lingers longer than the skill of its carving and decoration may otherwise dictate.

Date: 30 April 2016
