We visited the Cruz de Hierro which is the highest point of the Camino Santiago and is very meaningful to many pilgrims. It is there that tens of thousands of peregrinos have laid down a stone at the base. For some it is an act of penance, others an emotional releasing of a burden, and for others a symbolic act of leaving behind the past.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The gospel tells us that at the foot of the cross of Jesus we find freedom from our sin and guilt. But I fear that most of these pilgrims feel only an emotional release, and nothing more.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/scquest.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/img_9699.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/scquest.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/img_9699.jpg?resize=584%2C779\" alt=\"\" width=\"584\" height=\"779\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6962\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/scquest.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/img_9699.jpg?w=2448 2448w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/scquest.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/img_9699.jpg?resize=225%2C300 225w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/scquest.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/img_9699.jpg?resize=768%2C1024 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/scquest.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/img_9699.jpg?resize=450%2C600 450w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/scquest.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/img_9699.jpg?w=1168 1168w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/scquest.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/img_9699.jpg?w=1752 1752w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 584px) 100vw, 584px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/scquest.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/img_9696-1.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/scquest.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/img_9696-1.jpg?resize=584%2C438\" alt=\"\" width=\"584\" height=\"438\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6964\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/scquest.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/img_9696-1.jpg?w=3264 3264w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/scquest.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/img_9696-1.jpg?resize=300%2C225 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/scquest.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/img_9696-1.jpg?resize=768%2C576 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/scquest.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/img_9696-1.jpg?resize=1024%2C768 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/scquest.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/img_9696-1.jpg?resize=600%2C450 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/scquest.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/img_9696-1.jpg?resize=400%2C300 400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/scquest.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/img_9696-1.jpg?w=1168 1168w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/scquest.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/img_9696-1.jpg?w=1752 1752w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 584px) 100vw, 584px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/scquest.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/img_9693-1.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/scquest.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/img_9693-1.jpg?resize=584%2C438\" alt=\"\" width=\"584\" height=\"438\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6965\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/scquest.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/img_9693-1.jpg?w=3264 3264w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/scquest.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/img_9693-1.jpg?resize=300%2C225 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/scquest.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/img_9693-1.jpg?resize=768%2C576 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/scquest.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/img_9693-1.jpg?resize=1024%2C768 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/scquest.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/img_9693-1.jpg?resize=600%2C450 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/scquest.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/img_9693-1.jpg?resize=400%2C300 400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/scquest.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/img_9693-1.jpg?w=1168 1168w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/scquest.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/img_9693-1.jpg?w=1752 1752w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 584px) 100vw, 584px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last week we took a quick trip up into the mountains with a friend.
