The association of Xacobeo

This year will not be any year in which a pilgrimage is concerned, this year is very important for Galicia because it is the Holy Years. This is because when the feast day, July 25, falls on a Sunday, the next Holy Year, Xacobeo Year Jacobean or be in 2021. This year will be very special and I would celebrate with a long list of events and the possible view of Pope Benedict XVI.

But what the Jubilee mean? Jubilee for Catholics is done to get forgiveness of sins, for it must visit the Cathedral in Santiago, because there is the tomb of St. James the Greater pray the Creed and Our Father, pray for the Pope's intentions and receiving the sacraments of penance and communion.
