Camino Photo of the Day: Santiago de Boente
This rustic statue of Santiago resides in the high altar of the Igrexa Parroquial de Santiago de Boente. While it’s no work of high art, it has a certain primitive charm that has made it iconic on this part of the Camino. Holy cards featuring the image and a passport stamp are always cheerfully given, which last long after you’ve returned home, so perhaps this image lingers longer than the skill of its carving and decoration may otherwise dictate.
