WALKING THE CAMINO

 

Location: Greater Vernon Museum & Archives

Date:  Saturday January 23, 2016

Time: 1:30 - 2:30pm

The Greater Vernon Museum & Archives presents "Walking the Camino", as part
of the Friends of History Lecture Series, Saturday January 23rd,
1:30-2:30pm. Local pilgrims, Wayne Emde of Vernon and Jack Greenhalgh of
Kelowna, will share their story of friendship and how the journey in the
spring of 2009 changed them. 

 

The Camino is an ancient pilgrimage path that winds its way 800 kilometres
across northern Spain and ends at the Cathedral in Santiago. For more than a
thousand years, millions of pilgrims have walked the Camino, some for
spiritual reasons, some for recreation, and some for tourism. In 2009, Wayne
and Jack followed the path through the Pyrenees, across the bare, empty
meseta, through the hills of Galacia to Santiago.

 

Emde, a retired teacher, photographer and writer, along with Greenhalgh, a
retired Anglican Priest, will give a brief introduction before showing a
slide show of their journey, wrapping up the presentation with a question
and answer period. As space is limited, you are encouraged to call the
museum at 250-542-3142 to pre-register. Admission is by donation. For more
information please see www.vernonmuseum.ca  or visit the museum's facebook
page.
