A very long walk today. We passed through Manjarin, population of 1. We also stopped at the Iron Cross. One of the things that pilgrims traditionally take with them on Camino is a stone, and this stone is normally taken from home. The idea is that you leave the stone at an iron cross called the Cruz de Ferro along the route of the Camino Francés.
The tradition of pilgrims leaving a stone at the Cruz de Ferro was originally a very religious one and the purpose was to say a prayer at the Iron Cross and leaving the stone behind was very symbolic in that you were really leaving behind all your sins.
More recently, the tradition has been built on in that it’s a recognition of leaving behind not only the sins that pilgrims carry but also other burdens in their life. Enjoy the days pics.
