An Ancient Walk with Continued Appeal: The History and Power of the Camino with Kevin Banich

Venture with us down the storied paths of the Camino de Santiago as Kevin Banich,  principal of Roncalli High School and social studies teacher at heart, takes us through the history of this ancient pilgrimage.  Its history begins in Jerusalem with the Apostle James, but how do we end up in Spain? Tun in to find out. We examine the milestones that marked its history: the discovery of St. James's tomb, the papal directives that codified the pilgrimage', and the majestic cathedral that awaits pilgrims at its conclusion. As with all pilgrimages, the story extends beyond a mere trek across Spain; it's a spiritual odyssey shared among strangers who become companions, a reflection on life distilled into moments of quiet amid a noisy modernity. Together, we explore how stepping out of our daily grind can lead to transformative self-discovery, the kind that only comes when we dare to follow ancient trails with open hearts and curious minds.
