Chi will arrive in Santiago de Compostela next day you will have to tell about an important change. Starting on Friday 16 October, discover the traditions Pellegrino Messe non saranno celebrate sull'altare maggiore della Cattedrale, ma nella vicina chiesa di San Agustín.
The modification is temporary and is due to the work of intervention and restructuring planned in the area of the cappella maggiore of the Cattedrale di Santiago.
For the Italian pellegrini that are completing the Cammino in this autumn period, it is important to know the new orari and soprattutto il luogo corretto in cui recarsi.
Tre Messe del Pellegrino is home to St. Augustine
Starting on October 16, the Pellegrino Messe from 9:30, 12:00 and 19:30 will celebrate in the Chiesa di San Agustín, located a short distance from the Cattedrale.
The transfer will remain in force until new notice.
The Messa delle 7:30 will continue invece a essere celebratedta all'interno della Cattedrale di Santiago, ma nella Cappella della Comunione.
If you are dealing with a particularly important change because you arrive in Compostela at the end of the journey and consider the participation there at the Messa del Pellegrino one of the symbolic moments of the conclusion of the journey.
The Cathedral is open to visitors
I work does not comporteranno the general chiusura of the Cattedrale.
The visit will continue normally during the normal opening hours of the temple, from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.
The intervention mainly protects the piattaforma in legno situata nell'area dell'altare maggiore, dove si trovano the mensa dell'altare, l'ambone and the headquarters.
This means that the pilgrims and visitors will continue to access the Cathedral, visit the tomb of the Apostolo Santiago and live one of the moments below the Camino.
A change gives you information about arriving in Santiago
The last centennial day of pellegrini raggiungono Praza do Obradoiro dopo to see the last mile of the Cammino di Santiago.
For this reason, I will enter the Cathedral and participate in the Messa del Pellegrino and present the spiritual conclusion of the journey.
For this reason, we plan to arrive in Santiago on October 16, so we should keep in mind the temporary transfer of the main celebrations.
La chiesa di San Agustín will have fun like this, for some seventy-one or fine all the conclusions of the work, one of the main points of discovery for the pellegrini when they arrive in the Galician capital.
Il Cammino continues even in autumn
Ottobre continues to spend an important month on the Cammino of Santiago. The temperature below miti, the minore presence of the pellegrini rispetto all'estate and the paesaggio autunnale attirano ogni anno numerous camminatori.
Also many Italians will spend this period percorrere gli last cento chilometri or affrontare itinerari più longhi prima dell'arrivo dell'winter.
The modification of the celebration does not change who the experience of the Camino is, but is a practical information that each pellegrino dovrebbe know first of entering Santiago.
Per chi it will arrive in the next day, the last tappa will simply have a piccolo change: the great experience of the Camino will end in the heart of Santiago, but some of the celebrations will be dedicated to the pellegrini if they temporarily pass by the Cattedrale.
