Camino de Santiago Full Doumentary (The Way of St. James )
Camino de Santiago full documentary in english and spanish.
Camino de Santiago (The Way of Saint James) is the perfect mix of touristic-sports adventure and religious sentiment. This documentary shows all of the story from the origins until today.
The discovery of the sepulcher of the Apostle Santiago, in the first third of the IX century, compelled many Christians to make pilgrimages to Compostela doing the Camino de Santiago (Way of Saint James) to worship his relics.
This required the construction of a church. This building, besides guarding and honoring the relics of the Apostle and his disciples Teodoro and Atanasio, had to take in a greater number of pilgrims coming from the Peninsular kingdoms, as well as from the rest of Europe. The purpose of its builders was not only to construct the most perfect church dedicated to the cult of the pilgrims; they wanted to make Compostela a religious and artistic reference for the world, like Rome and Jerusalem.
These are the beginnings of a fascinating story, a fabulous saga spanning centuries carried out
by thousands of people united in their devotion to the figure of the Apostle Santiago, in a remote corner of Finisterre. They called it Compostela: the field of stars.
The present state of the Santiago Cathedral is the result of numerous changes, projects, works, remodeling; in short, an evolving and impassioned architectural and artistic creation developed throughout many centuries.
Camino de Santiago. The Temple of the Stars - Full Documentary
Even though Jerusalem, Rome and Santiago have been the three great destinations for pilgrims
since the Middle Ages, the Camino de Santiago (Way of Saint James) to Santiago is the only one that is still traveled the same way today as it was back then: on foot and with little else than a shoulder pouch.
It had been a long time since news of the discovery of the Santiago sepulcher had reached France. Those were dark and dangerous times.
Terror broke loose when the Saracen army flattened Compostela. Almanzor had destroyed its basilica and other churches and monasteries. Bishop Diego Peláez decided to build a new church
to replace the pre-Romanesque Basilica. We fly over the city of Santiago. From up here, we can see the cathedral and near it, the church of San Félix de Solovio.
And it is in this place where chronicles tell of a hermit known as Pelayo who, as he fasted, observed some lights shining on the ancient Roman citadel. Before such news, the bishop arrived at the site and discovered the entrance to a small sepulcher among the weeds.
A church was built above the sepulcher to worship the Apostle’s relics. Construction was finished in 830 and Bishop Teodomiro consecrated the first Church of Santiago.
In the year 1101, while in Santiago after being named bishop by Pope Paschal II Diego Gelmírez initiated his projects. The first would be the conclusion of the cathedral. It was apparent that if he wanted the Santiago church to become that great Apostolic see, it had to be at the vanguard of art.
To this end, he patronized continuous exchanges between Compostelan builders and the most advanced constructors of the times. Camino de Santiago (The Way of St. James) had definitely become a torrent of culutral and artistic exchange between Galicia and the rest of Europe.
Diego Gelmírez had achieved all of his goals: the construction of the cathedral was well on its way
and it was a benchmark for European Romanesque art;
And finally, on April 21 1211, Archbishop Pedro Muñiz, in the presence of King Alfonso IX,
consecrated the Romanesque cathedral of Santiago. The visits of Pope John Paul II and later Benedict XVI in the Holy Compostelan year of 2010, surrounded by a fervent multitude of pilgrims from all over the world, through Camino de Santiago ( Way of St. James) are a testimony to the magnificent vitality the Jacobean cult has today.
But notwithstanding all the changes, the works of Peláez and Gelmírez, of Masters Bernardo, Esteban, Mateo, and countless others, still remain unaltered and recognizable. In the spaces within its naves, columns, tribunes, chapels and porticos, the spirit of all those who contributed to its erection is conserved.
Thousands of pilgrims from around the world held each year Camino de Santiago (Way of St. James) to venerate the relics of the Apostle. Camino de Santiago (The Way of St. James) ends in the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela.

▶ Documental Camino de Santiago. El Templo de las Estrellas
Todo empezó con el descubrimiento de sepulcro del Apóstol Santiago en el primer tercio del siglo IX. Esto impulsó a muchos cristianos a peregrinar hasta Compostela. Para ello era necesaria la construcción de una iglesia que permitiera, por un lado guardar la sagrada tumba del santo, por otro custodiar y honrar sus reliquias y la de sus discípulos Teodoro y Atanasio, y por último acoger una gran cantidad de peregrinos llegados de los reinos peninsulares y del resto de Europa. Sus Artífices pretendían convertir Compostela en un lugar de referencia en lo religioso y en lo artístico, como Roma o Jerusalén.
Fueron los comienzos de una historia fascinante, una fabulosa epopeya llevada a cabo durante siglos, por miles de personas unidas por la devoción a la figura del Apóstol Santiago, en un apartado rincón del Finisterre. Le llamaban Compostela: el campo de las estrellas.
La Catedral de Santiago es el resultado de numerosos cambios, proyectos, obras, remodelaciones, en fin, una dilatada y apasionante creación arquitectónica y artística desarrollada a través de los siglos y de la que hoy podemos disfrutar.
Aunque desde la Edad Media, Jerusalén, Roma y Santiago, han sido los tres grandes centros de peregrinación, la ruta jacobea o camino de santiago, es la única que aun se realiza de la misma forma que entonces: a pie y con el zurrón al hombro.
Hacia tiempo que la noticia del descubrimiento del sepulcro de Santiago había llegado a Francia. Eran tiempos oscuros y peligrosos. El terror se desató al conocerse que el ejército sarraceno había arrasado Compostela.
Almanzor había destruido su Basílica y demás iglesias y monasterios. El obispo Diego Peláez decidió construir una nueva Iglesia que reemplazase a la basílica prerrománica.
Sobrevolamos la ciudad de Santiago, desde el aire podemos contemplar la catedral y cerca de ella la iglesia de San Félix de Solovio. Y es en este lugar donde las crónicas cuentan que un ermitaño llamado Pelayo, observó unas luces que brillaban sobre la antigua ciudadela romana.
Ante tales noticias, el obispo acude al lugar y entre la maleza, descubre la entrada de un pequeño sepulcro. Sobre el sepulcro se construyó una iglesia para venerar las reliquias del Apóstol. Las obras concluyen en el 830 y el Obispo Teodomiro consagra la primera Iglesia de Santiago.
La nueva basílica se consagra en el año 899.
En el año 1101, y ya en Santiago, tras ser nombrado obispo por el Papa Pascual II, Diego Gelmírez se aprestó a poner en marcha sus proyectos. El primero debía ser la conclusión de la catedral. Era evidente que si quería conseguir que la Iglesia de Santiago llegara a ser esa gran sede apostólica, debía de estar a la vanguardia del arte. Para ello patrocinó continuos intercambios entre los obradores compostelanos y los más avanzados de la época. El camino de Santiago se había convertido definitivamente, en un torrente de intercambio cultural y artístico, entre Galicia y el resto de Europa.
Diego Gelmírez había cumplido todos sus objetivos: la construcción de la catedral iba por buen camino y era un referente del arte románico europeo.
El 21 de abril de 1211, el arzobispo Pedro Muñiz en presencia del rey Alfonso IX, consagró la catedral románica de Santiago.
La visita de Juan Pablo II y después la de Benedicto XVI en el año santo compostelano de 2010, rodeados de una ferviente multitud de peregrinos venidos de todas partes del mundo, demuestran la magnífica vitalidad que hoy muestra el culto Jacobeo.
Pero a pesar de todos los cambios, la obra de Peláez y Gelmírez, de los maestros Bernardo, Esteban, Mateo y tantos otros sigue inalterable y reconocible. En los espacios de sus naves, columnas, tribunas, capillas y pórticos se conserva el espíritu de todos aquellos que contribuyeron a edificarla.

▶ Sepulcher: Third part of the documentary The way of ST. James (Camino de Santiago). The Temple of stars.
We fly over the city of Santiago. From up here, we can see the cathedral and near it, the church of San Félix de Solovio. Thus according to archeological research, we can imagine the situation in the year 1.
Where the cathedral now stands, there would have been a small Roman fortification, and in place of the church of San Félix, a small village of farmers, located on an ancient fort of Celtic origin.
And it is in this place where chronicles tell of a hermit known as Pelayo who, as he fasted, observed some lights shining on the ancient Roman citadel. But Pelayo was not the only one to contemplate this phenomenon some shepherds were also witness to the strange lights. The event reached Teodomiro, the bishop of Iría-Flavia, which was back then the Episcopal See, and today is a parish in the Padrón municipality.
Before such news, the bishop arrived at the site and discovered the entrance to a small sepulcher among the weeds. He discovered three tombs a few meters underground: the middle one protected by a slab of marble. Teodomiro did not hesitate to attribute these burials to the St. James and his disciples Teodoro and Atanasio. Alfonso II, King of Asturias, decided to erect a basic but well-stocked sanctuary. A church was built above the sepulcher to worship the Apostle’s relics, and beside it, the small monastery of Antealtares, to house the community of monks that would look after the so-called Locus Santi Iacobi. Construction was finished in 830 and Bishop Teodomiro consecrated the first Church of Santiago. Exactly where four centuries earlier a Roman village existed, the primordial nucleus of the future cathedral and city of Santiago now surged.
One of the main finds of the 1955 digs was the sepulchral cover of Bishop Teodomiro, a transcendental figure in this story. It was he who revealed the nature of the sepulcher that was found thanks to those miraculous signals. After the death of Teodomiro, two events took place in the middle of the IX century that would be key to both the propagation of the fervor for the Saint Apostle, as well as to the development of the small Compostelan nucleus.
The first – part myth, part reality – took place in the battle of Clavijo. King Ramiro I’s Christian armies pulled back from the advances of Abderrahman II. Suddenly, St. James appeared on a white horse, causing the Saracen troops to disband and fall in defeat. From this point, the Apostle became the defender of Christianity against the infidels, and king Ramiro I established the Santiago Vow, forcing everyone to hand over their first harvests to the Church of the Apostle every year.
In the late IX century, the Bishop of Iría-Flavia built more solid and majestic church upon the former one, thanks to the help of king Alfonso III, the Great. The new Basilica was consecrated in the year 899.

SUMMARY
=======
Spain (Spanish: España [esˈpaɲa] ( listen)), officially the Kingdom of Spain (Spanish: Reino de España), is a country mostly located on the Iberian Peninsula in Europe. Its territory also includes two archipelagoes: the Canary Islands off the coast of Africa, and the Balearic Islands in the Mediterranean Sea. The African enclaves of Ceuta and Melilla make Spain the only European country to have a physical border with an African country (Morocco). Several small islands in the Alboran Sea are also part of Spanish territory. The country's mainland is bordered to the south and east by the Mediterranean Sea except for a small land boundary with Gibraltar; to the north and northeast by France, Andorra, and the Bay of Biscay; and to the west and northwest by Portugal and the Atlantic Ocean.
With an area of 505,990 km2 (195,360 sq mi), Spain is the largest country in Southern Europe, the second largest country in Western Europe and the European Union, and the fourth largest country in the European continent. By population, Spain is the sixth largest in Europe and the fifth in the European Union. Spain's capital and largest city is Madrid; other major urban areas include Barcelona, Valencia, Seville, Málaga and Bilbao.
Modern humans first arrived in the Iberian Peninsula around 35,000 years ago. Iberian cultures along with ancient Phoenician, Greek, Celtic and Carthaginian settlements developed on the peninsula until it came under Roman rule around 200 BCE, after which the region was named Hispania, based on the earlier Phoenician name Sp(a)n or Spania. At the end of the Western Roman Empire the Germanic tribal confederations migrated from Central Europe, invaded the Iberian peninsula and established relatively independent realms in its western provinces, including the Suebi, Alans and Vandals. Eventually, the Visigoths would forcibly integrate all remaining independent territories in the peninsula, including Byzantine provinces, into the Kingdom of Toledo, which more or less unified politically, ecclesiastically and legally all the former Roman provinces or successor kingdoms of what was then documented as Hispania.
In the early eighth century the Visigothic Kingdom fell to the Moors, who arrived to rule most of the peninsula in the year 726, leaving only a handful of small Christian realms in the north, lasting up to seven centuries in the Kingdom of Granada. This led to many wars during a long reconquering period across the Iberian Peninsula, which led to the creation of Kingdom of Leon, Kingdom of Castille, Kingdom of Aragon and Kingdom of Navarre as the main Christian kingdoms to face the invasion. Following the Moorish conquest, Europeans began a gradual process of retaking the region known as the Reconquista, which by the late 15th century culminated in the emergence of Spain as a unified country under the Catholic Monarchs.
In the early modern period, Spain became the world's first global empire and the most powerful country in the world, leaving a large cultural and linguistic legacy that includes +570 million Hispanophones, making Spanish the world's second-most spoken native language, after Mandarin Chinese. During the Golden Age there were also many advancements in the arts, with world-famous painters such as Diego Velázquez.
The most famous Spanish literary work, Don Quixote, was also published during the Golden Age. Spain hosts the world's third-largest number of UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
Spain is a secular parliamentary democracy and a parliamentary monarchy, with King Felipe VI as head of state. It is a major developed country and a high income country, with the world's fourteenth largest economy by nominal GDP and sixteenth largest by purchasing power parity. It is a member of the United Nations (UN), the European Union (EU), the Eurozone, the Council of Europe (CoE), the Organization of Ibero-American States (OEI), the Union for the Mediterranean, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), the Or ...
