putative burial site of St. James is also quite interesting, as well as the development of the pilgrimmage business. It is astounding that these more interesting aspects are not present, particularly in an encyclopedia. It should not just rehash the fact that this is the terminus of a pilgrimmage route, and provide a link farm to every commercial interest that comes along with something to peddle, but provide some deeper encyclopedic insight into this fascinating city.--

Compostela, which was considered an important place of pilgrimage for
Christians who often wore the shell like a badge. The scallop shell thus appears on the coats of arms of some families indicating that they have been "on the pilgrims trail". That's what I was told but I'm not a Christian or an expert and I could be in error so maybe a scholar can elaborate. In good faith. AMM

How do you get "St James" from any of the following names Jacob, Iacovo, Iacopo etc? These names can all be seen on a myriad of old maps. There is no St James on any of these maps. Can the brilliant editor who thinks Jacob is synonymous with James please explain how he arrives at that conclusion? On

It is quite attrocious. Particularly the history I think is quite important. This supposedly was the site of a preChristian pagan pilgrimmage. There are all kinds of interesting stories about the period when the Moors dominated Spain and their activities in this area. The claim of this location as a

Sorry but who is St James? evidence? studies please? That location was always known as Iacopo - jacob, jago, etc the etymology is rather straight forward. how about someone explain in some logical manner how we get St James from Jacob? because that's the only source possible for the switch. Its

In the
Christian faith the belief is that Jesus anointed the head of the fisherman James, with a shell he picks up from the shore of Galalee. The small scallop or pectin thus becomes the emblem of the followers of Christ. Europeans who wished to visit the Holy Land often also visited Santiago de

In editing this article, I've run across two questions I have not been able to find that answer to either by looking through related WP pages or by searching Google Books: (1) Which Pope/s acknowledged
Alfonso and Asturias? and, (2) When exactly did Compostela become capital of Galicia? Thanks,
1027:
There's a reason why
Spanish govt has opened a programme which more or less allows any Cefaria Jews automatic citizenship ...they say "welcome home, we missed you". leaving aside the twee pr, that really should spell it out. The persecution was primarily against Jews, like the (Oretain-Germani)

I think we should use the
English name as much as possible, I can see the use of Spanish (ie Castillian) as that is used worldwide to promote the way; also in the English speaking word. I would not favour the inclusion of a local language be it Basque, Catalonian or Galician; or other languages
1047:"the name of Santiago as a city in the Dominican Republic is questionable?" how can that be questionable is the 2nd largest city in the country and it got a heraldic coat of arms from the spanish crown in 1508 that stament is just ridiculous

quite amusing on the actual wiki, they jump from all the Jacob references to suddenly with no explanation we get St James, amateur night in Dixie is an understatement. Does anyone here actually understand "etymology"?

as it incorrectly depicts
Austria instead of Slovenia and Croatia on the right. If the map depicts the subject matter of this article fine, it may perhaps be cropped; otherwise, please replace it with another map.
897:
I also think that
Galician should be used instead of Castillian. It is an official language, and to choose Castillian would be to undermine the cultural and legal importance of Galician in the region.
