2021 is a holy jubilee year which happens when the Apostle Santiago’s day (the 25th of July) falls on a Sunday. The tradition started in 1122 when the last stone was placed on the Santiago Cathedral and Pope Calixto II declared you would receive the same blessings on the arrival to Santiago as you would when you arrive to Rome during a holy year or Año Xacobeo. It only happens every now and then, but since the Middle Ages if you do the Camino de Santiago in a San Xacobeo year, it is said that all your sins will be wiped clean.
In Euros this necklace is valued around 73EUR.
