Jim’s Pilgrim’s Credential

Before the journey home, here is my Pilgrim’s Credential with the stamps I accumulated along the way. The first credential filled and got a second credential. This is also called the pilgrim’s passport. The first two photos are the first pages of the two credentials. both having been stamped at the pilgrim’s office at the cathedral in Santiago. The stamps read Oficina Del Peregrino S.A.M.I Catedral – Santiago which loosely translates to the Pilgrims Office at the S.A.M.I. Cathedral in Santiago. S.A.M.I. is acronym for the Holy Apostolic and Metropolitan Church in Santiago de Compostela.
