Beschreibung:
Medieval pilgrims struggling toward Santiago de Compostela would often shout "e;E ultreia! E suseia! Deus aia nos!"e; (Onwards! Upwards! God helps us!) as encouragement to press on when faced with burdensome difficulties. This compilation of more than 200 quotations drawn from more than 30 contemporary sources offers new equivalents to the old pilgrims' rallying cry for modern-day pilgrims facing fatigue and discomfort. The quotations, arranged in sequence to be read at specific breaks during each day's walk on the pilgrimage, serve to revive strength and enthusiasm, helping to inspire those wearing the iconic scallop shell whose goal is to hug the statue of St. James upon reaching Santiago de Compostela.
