AB - With the growing interest in the pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela and the current state of research in Korea, this paper aims to provide a comprehensive exploration. It begins by introducing key aspects of medieval pilgrimage, including the medieval understanding of pilgrimage and human perception as pilgrims. Additionally, it delves into the origins of the Santiago pilgrimage and the historical development of the pilgrimage route. While previous studies have covered these areas, this paper seeks to shed light on previously unexplored aspects. Establishing the historical context, this article highlights the spirituality of charity and hospitality as depicted in Book 4 of the Codex Calixtinus, commonly referred to as the Pilgrim’s Gude. This essential source offers insights into the pilgrimage landscape during the 12th century, the heyday of the Camino de Santiago. Notably, the book repeatedly stresses the significance of extending charity and hospitality to the poor pilgrims. In today’s world, where an unprecedented number of people are displaced due to war or economic factors, this emphasis on charity and hospitality challenges the conscience of humanity. Moreover, in an era of increased mobility, the spirituality of charity and hospitality holds significant relevance. While medieval pilgrims sought divine mercy, modern pilgrims and travelers often prioritize self-discovery and personal pursuits. Therefore, the emphasis on charity and hospitality in medieval pilgrimage culture serves as a mirror through which modern pilgrims and travelers can reflect on the significance of their own journeys, inviting them to turn their gaze from themselves to people who need help.
