The Eucharistic Miracle Along the Camino de Santiago

The miracle that took place along the pilgrim road to Santiago de Compestela was a mercy God bestowed upon a struggling priest filled with doubt. It occurred seven centuries ago, high in the mountains of Galicia in the remote hamlet of O Cebreiro. When the Camino became a phenomenon after the discovery of the relics of St. James in 813, O Cebreiro became a much-needed stop for shelter in the tempestuous mountain area. Pilgrims taking the most popular route along the “Camino Frances, French Way,” will have journeyed for about a month by the time they arrive at this village. Their arrival marks the beginning of the final downhill stretch toward the tomb of the apostle.
