Camino Photo of the Day: Determined with Abbot Bernardo

Today’s photo complements yesterday’s. This time it’s me with the statue of the guy who put Sahagún on the map as an important waystation on the Camino. Bernardo de Sédirac became the first Cluniac Abbot of Sahagún and kicked off a reform of northern Spain’s monasteries. In the statue he is depicted as carrying Saint Benedict’s Rule, emblazoned with the motto of the Order: Ora et Labora – pray and work.

I can’t decide if I’m projecting determination in this photo or just cold.

Date: 18 April 2016
Place: Entering Sahagún (Castilla y León, Spain)
