The story behind the line “Are we there yet?” It's every pilgrim's question on the Camino de Santiago. Since the Middle Ages, people have walked hundreds of miles to Santiago de Compostela, where tradition says St James is buried, and he's the patron of pilgrims. The joke is on the walker, hoping the cathedral is just around the next bend.
James, son of Zebedee, was a Galilean fisherman who left his nets with his brother John to follow Jesus, who called the pair Boanerges, the sons of thunder. He was the first apostle to die for his faith, around the year 44. Tradition holds that he rests at Santiago de Compostela, and since the Middle Ages pilgrims have walked the Camino to his shrine. He is pictured as one of them: broad hat, staff, water gourd and the scallop shell that became his sign.
