Alto del Perdón … The Height of Forgiveness
Sterling silver or sterling silver and copper cuff bracelet depicting the Alto del Perdón Sculpture scene. This handmade treasure depicts the historic journey of the pilgrims traveling the Camino de Santiago. The figures are hand cut out of silver or copper to match this iconic sculpture.
The pilgrims are bracketed by two sterling silver Camino shells representing Camino de Santiago path.
"As the pilgrim walks out of Pamplona in Spain, a hill stands on his way, defying him/her, with many giant windmills spread on its peak.
It is a very windy place, and a long winding climb. The path is not very steep but feels tiring.. Maybe the weight of unforgiven sins on our shoulders?
Once the top of the hill is reached, he is welcomed by these statues representing pilgrims, braving the wind to continue their chosen path. It gives him hope and strength to carry on. Many have passed here before him and many will in the future. As he looks west towards his goal, a splendid view of the hilly region of Navarra stretches to the horizon."
There is a Spanish inscription on the sculpture that reads “donde se cruza el camino del viento con el de las estrellas” meaning “where the path of the wind crosses that of the stars”. It is one of the great landmarks of the Camino.
