Virtual tour: Pilgrimage

After reviewing both the virtual tour and the supporting materials, you will write a response to the prompt listed below. Make sure to fully describe the tour and discuss each portion of the assignment prompt, and your response must be at least 400 words in length.Imagine you are a medieval pilgrim traveling to the Cathedral of St. James, Santiago de Compostela. You will include the following sections in your discussion of this virtual tour:

• For your journey, you will depart from Paris, France and follow the most travelled route from Aymery Picaud’s Guidebook for Pilgrims (Links to an external site.). In real time, this journey takes several months, but with modern technology, you can do it in an hour in the comfort of your own home.
• Read the General Overview, and write an introduction journal entry explaining the plan for your Pilgrimage from Paris, France to Santiago, Spain.
• Along the way, you will visit churches with relics and shrines as outlined in the chart below. For each stop on the pilgrimage route, you will write a short journal entry describing your experience – what you saw, what you learned. You will visit 6 churches, of which you will choose 3 as the subject of your written response.
• The final stop on your tour, of course, is the holy site of the Cathedral of St. James in Santiago de Compostela. Since this is the reason for your journey, your discussion for this site will be longer and more detailed. Write about what happened as you entered this holy site.

Think about what you saw, the people you met, and what was happening around you.

Make sure to include details from the videos and readings that will give your fictional account a level of authenticity.
