We were privileged to see the “smoke boat” or Botafumeiro in action today after Mass. The botafumeiro is the world’s largest incense thurible. It hangs from the ceiling of the Cathedral of Saint James and takes about 5 grown men to swing it through the cathedral. It’s quite the sight. In this podcast I explain the epic botafumeiro. As promised, in the the podcast I include my video footage of the botafumeiro in action. Godspeed, Dr Taylor Marshall Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Today was the most difficult day on the Camino de Santiago in Spain. I fell down (while still clipped into my bike) at the summit below the Cruz de Ferro (Iron Cross) where pilgrims place a stone from home to signify their burdens and sins. Here is an audio file of me recounting the experience and explaining the Iron Cross tradition: Here is the Cruz de Ferro surrounded by pebbles placed their by pilgrims over time: Learn more about your ad choices.

Today I tell the story of a pilgrim, a knight, and his rejected love that lead him to 30 days of violent jousting and the breaking of the 300 lances! We passed through the medieval town of Hospital de Órbigo which was once run and controlled by the Knights Hospitallers to aide Christian pilgrims along the Camino to Santiago, Spain. Previously in AD 456, invading armies loyal to King Theuderic I (son of King Clovis of the Franks) here fought King Rechiar (Suevic king of Gallaecia – first Germanic Catholic king). Here’s the story of the Leonese knight Suero de Quinones who was rejected by the woman he loved. She placed him in the “friend zone,” and so he burned out his anger through jousting: Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
