In this stamp Floreano becomes a pilgrim to, hand in hand with Correos, accompany us in the celebration of the Holy Year or Xacobeo in this 2021. Good way!
The Xacobeo, also called Jacobean Year, Holy Year or Jubilee Year, is celebrated when the feast of the Apostle Santiago (July 25) falls on a Sunday. It is then that pilgrims are allowed to visit the tomb of the Apostle in the Cathedral of Santiago and get plenary indulgence or forgiveness of all sins. This forgiveness of sins, also called Jubilee by the Catholic Church, can only be done in five cities of the world: Compostela, Rome, Jerusalem, Santo Toribio and Caravaca de la Cruz.
Usually the Xacobeo Year is every 5 or 6 years, and sometimes, you have to wait up to 11 years to be able to live a Xacobeo.
In addition, in each Holy Year there is the opening of the Holy Door, to officially begin the Jubilee Year: The archbishop strikes three times with a silver hammer on the wall of the Holy Door, as a symbol of the hardness of the Way that leads there. He then asks permission to enter the Apostle and then the wall is torn down. The Holy Door remains open for the next 12 months.
On this occasion the protagonist of the stamp is Floreano, who, dressed in his pilgrim's cape, his staff and pumpkin, leans on a sign of the Camino de Santiago. This mythical character, created by the cartoonist Gogue, has been animating readers of the Vigo Lighthouse with his vignettes for years.
