There&#8217;s a lovely little sign near it in French and English inviting visitors to write their prayer petitions on small pieces of paper provided, and pilgrims will carry their petitions with them to the tomb of the Apostle in Santiago de Compostela in Spain. I wrote out a petition, and the next day I was given one to carry with me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You&#8217;ll notice that the statue is missing part of an arm. The Cathedral was taken over by the forces of the French Revolution in 1793 and looted. It was not returned to church use for a generation, and restoration work did not begin until the 1840s. This is a theme we will return to again and again as these photos are posted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thomryng.com\/camino\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/53314144562_cf5f40e79c_o-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17163\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thomryng.com\/camino\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/53314144562_cf5f40e79c_o-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thomryng.com\/camino\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/53314144562_cf5f40e79c_o-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.thomryng.com\/camino\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/53314144562_cf5f40e79c_o-113x150.jpg 113w, https:\/\/www.thomryng.com\/camino\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/53314144562_cf5f40e79c_o-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Date: <\/strong>17 August 2023<br><strong>Place: <\/strong>Le Puy-en-Velay, Haute-Loire D\u00e9partement, Region of Auvergne-Rh\u00f4ne-Alpes, France<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Maps!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"437\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thomryng.com\/camino\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/VP-arrow-01-Le-Puy-1024x437.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17139\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thomryng.com\/camino\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/VP-arrow-01-Le-Puy-1024x437.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.thomryng.com\/camino\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/VP-arrow-01-Le-Puy-300x128.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thomryng.com\/camino\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/VP-arrow-01-Le-Puy-150x64.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.thomryng.com\/camino\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/VP-arrow-01-Le-Puy-768x328.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thomryng.com\/camino\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/VP-arrow-01-Le-Puy-1536x655.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.thomryng.com\/camino\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/VP-arrow-01-Le-Puy-2048x873.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Okay, technically he&#8217;s known as Saint Jacques in France.
