Why did Martin Luther and other Reformers critique pilgrimages like Camino de Santiago so harshly? Why did they think Christians shouldn’t make these journeys? In this video I analyze some of Martin Luther’s writings on pilgrimage to gain lessons for making pilgrimage to Santiago in 2021.

His arguments probably won’t be very convincing for secular pilgrims.
