Pilgrim window

Pilgrim window

The window depicts St James the Great whose symbol is the scallop shell and whose shrine at Santiago de Compostela in northern Spain was, in mediaeval times - and indeed still is today - an important place of pilgrimage for Christians. 

It is believed that the remains of the saint are buried there and various routes known as Camino de Santiago or the Way of St James lead to the city from all over Europe.
