2002 Gathering of Pilgrims

[George Greenia]

The Fifth Annual Gathering of the Friends of the Camino de Santiago

will take place in Williamsburg, VA on March 8-10, 2002. All who have made 
the pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela in Spain on foot, bicycle or by 
any other means are welcome, as well as those exploring the idea of 
pilgrimage or looking for practical advice and the fellowship of modern 
pilgrims. The Gathering will offer time to talk informally about individual 
pilgrimages, and to hear presentations by researchers and authors, 
musicians and kinesiologists, recent veterans of the Camino and those who 
can offer reflections on the personal exploration that molds the pilgrim’s 
contemporary experience.
