Pray and Go to the Ends of the Earth. Camino de Santiago.
Please share with others.
The author, Krzysztof Jaxa-Kwiatkowski, made a lonely walking pilgrimage, along the Camino de Santiago Way - the Way of Saint James, from his home in Krakow, Poland, to the door of the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela in Spain, and further to Cabo Fisterra (the medieval, symbolic End of the Earth), in the traditional Christian door-to-door form, covering 3,469 kilometers.
The documentary "Pray. And go to the ends of the earth ” is a retrospective and reflective story from a four-month lonely walking journey through six European countries.
This documentary is the editing result of short videos and photos from the journey, provided with the author's narration.
The film focuses mainly on self-discovery, personal search for hope and a deeper relationship with God, as well as the pilgrimage aspect of loneliness that can strengthen this bond. It also mentions Angels and demons, whose presence every Pilgrim will, sooner or later, sense within and without, i.e. both in their souls and in the outside reality.
This documentary also tells the viewers about the meaning of inner exploration and traveling on The Way through the author's experience of everyday life, his adventures and people encountered on the trail.
The film is not only the author's testimony. Its purpose is to inspire other Pilgrims to embark on their journey along the Way of St. James and to introduce spiritual/religious practice into their everyday lives.
The picture is accompanied by great music "Boże Granie" by the Uwierz Miłości Foundation.

42' indeed.
Wonderful testimony of Christian simplicity. Love to you. Life is a pilgrimage
Thank you! We depart June 4, 2023 from Viginia, USA to Camino. I have no expectations. Your film is exceptional, mysterious, it speaks words to me that I can't understand but that give me a pause that I can't put into words.
What an impressive narrative. You're guided by the holy spirit along your walk.....
Thank You Pilgrim For An Authentic Camino Experience. Very Moving. Ultreia !!!!!!!!!!!!
A very thought provoking and beautiful story. thankyou
Today I saw your beautful video again. This was exatly a perfekt start of the Day. You are very good to talk and tell us the story. Thanks
Thank you for this inspiring and touching recount. It has helped me with my own struggles and helped me to understand how important it is to follow God's calling. Thank you.
Thank you very much for sharing💖🌻💖
The best film on the Camino so far. Not the usual "Eat, Pray, Love" kind of fake spirituality.
Thank you for sharing your experience, wonderful, amazing, remarkable.
Beautiful documentary! Thank you for sharing your journey with us.
I pray that one day i will also walk the santiago de compostela.

When time comes you will walk Camino... But you also walk your own Camino every day :)
Thank you for a good video. The way you talk and tell us the story is fantastisk. I have a dream to do a long walk for myself. Mikael
Dziękuję Krzysztof, what you say makes so much more sense than many other videos trying to describe the meaning of pilgrimage. Very touching account. God bless you and your loved ones! I am over 60 and planning my first Camino. I have some arthrosis in my toes and unsure if it will be a major problem on the way. But I am going to try. How to walk like Jesus walked? "By this we may be sure that we are in him: he who says he abides in him ought to walk in the same way in which he walked." 1 John 2:5-6. I hope you don't mind the fact that many non-Catholics love your story.
Thank you so very much for sharing your journey. I have listened from many people doing the Camino and for the very first time I have actually loved your inspiring story. It was the very best documentary I have heard so far. Thank you again, it was beautiful. From Texas Thanks
Thank you for your generosity in sharing your journey on the Camino. ~Namaste 🙏
Bardzo ciekawy przekaz.Ja wiem o czym Ty mówisz .Wiele razy miałam podobne wrazenie. Tak ogromna strata ,ze ludzie tylko w duzych skupiskach siedzą i całe piękno cała magia omija ich szerokim łukiem .a moze tylko co nie którzy mogą tego pięknego magicznego świata zobaczyć . Kiedyś na naszej Łódzkiej Pielgrzymce ktoś mi powiedział ,ze wiara jest dla tych co nie wierzą.Bo Ci co wierzą nie trzeba ich przekonywać.Serdecznie dziękuję za ten piękny prezent w postaci tego filmu.Ewa Łukadzewska . 10:02
Absolutely amazing. I am so touched. Beautiful. beautiful. This is not about being Catholic....

A true pilgrimage. Thank you for sharing your journey. Truly a beautiful and inspiring documentary. God Bless
Absolutely amazing! Thank you so much. This video story touch the soul spirit and every cell of body.
Your testimony was absolute amazing, Krzysztof. I had some spiritual experiences on the Camino too. When I mentioned it to a couple of priest friends they kind of dismissed it.... Which is to be expected as it seems not to be rational to the human mind. But yes, it didn't seem rational to me either, but it was my experience on the Camino.
This was fascinating. Thank you for sharing this. God Bless you.
Best Camino video. It's a route began for Catholics to get rid of the consequences of sin in their lives. I urge you to do it correctly. 1)....Get a "Credencial" in a church at the start. 2)....Get at least two stamps per day. 3)....Pray at every church, cross or sign of respect for Christ and his church. 4)....At Santiago, go to the cathedral office and get certificate of completion. 5).... Go to Mass in the cathedral if you can. All denominations and none, even atheists, are welcome However, if you are not a practising Catholic do NOT go up to receive Communion. The least you can do for yourself is respect the faith and tradition that welcomes you.
Beautiful journey! Pray for me pilgrim. On my way!

Greetings from 3055 km from your home. I liked it and I hope you found what you were looking for.
Thank you for sharing! I'm praying to do the Camino soon. Doing it for spiritual purposes.
How glad I am that I came upon this video. Very well done. Watching it was a sort of prayer. Thanks.
Somehow your journey is the journey of us all. Though we have not taken the physical steps, we have walked and been transported with you and the depth of your experience.

Good comment. When I walked the Camino the devil walked with me. What do I mean? I realized my own failings on my own personal journey to be perfect as God wants me to be. Yes, he, (or his demons) accompanied me with bad and sinful thoughts, temptations. On two occasions, he showed me his physical presence by a sound behind me, very clear. Second, when I knocked my rosary to the ground with a loud clatter, immediately following a sinful, evil thought. Edit: very soon after both these incidents, a black cat crossed in front of me a while I was passing through a small village. I would add that I have began to notice things, occurrences if you like, on my personal journey towards sanctification.
very touched by your film. from Taiwan. 🤩🤩🤩😇
Transformative pilgrimage is needed by so many of us these days ...thank you for sharing yours.
Many people have dreams, but only a few make them come true. Congratulations! :-) Pure slow travel!
Dear Krzysztof Thank you for this incredible inspiring movie. Beside all other Clips on youtube about the Camino , yours is a really special one. I recently did the Camino Frances, but started more or less without strong spiritual commitment. Very soon I involved myself in the search of God , but with a lot of doubt. The fellow pilgrims I met, are mostly in the same "struggle" even if they don't confess openly. I like your strong faith and your compassion with those who are not already there.

Hi Scardinius, thank you for your very personal comment and your testemony. Bigger or smaller miracles happen on Camino. I saw there too many examples and testemonies not to belive. What I think now is that we shouldnt belive in direct miracle but rather strongly cooperate with God's grace. In this process, after a certain time we will see and truly experience transforming power of God and Way itself. I saw people who decided to babtise themselfs right after Camino or went for confession in church after 30 years... I met elder couple from Netherlands who came back to regular religious practice on Camino after 40 years... Yes, I agree with you totally - even those pilgrims who dont confess it straight experience God in their own way. Everyday I thank to God for my Camino. This is one of these seldom moments in life that one can feel and experience spiritual presence of Heavens... Keep well my Friend!
Beautiful. It moved me.
Thank you for this inspiring informative video. You have a pleasant voice. I walk my 🐕 enjoyably & effortlessly listening
I do not often respond to things that I see like this, but I found that I needed to say something. I sensed an integrity in you that was inspiring. I will never be able to do anything like this myself due to mobility problems and getting older. But 5that I make some sort of pilgrimage is inevitable. I am not RC but am Christian with a deep sense of being contemplative. Your journey has become part of my own.
Thank you. Szczęść Boże wszystkim 🙏🙏🙏
Truly inspirational. Thank you for sharing your story. Christ is King! Pax.

Thank you for the inspiration. Fellow pilgrim.
Amazing!! thank you for sharing it
Ah Switzerland...I remember a few years back they had a grand opening of an engineering marvel....the longest tunnel ever ...and the celebration was a total hommage to moloch. No surprise they try to erase the path to St James and to God and Truth.

Absolutely beautiful video, one of the best things I've ever seen on KZread. Thank you so much for making this and for sharing your journey. Bless you.

impressionant in every way
Dear Krzysztof, (my first KZread comment!) Thank you for sharing this spiritual documentary. I hope you continue on your Camino de San Krzysztof! And I hope that you intercede with your prayers to help guide other pilgrims-such as my son, Kevin. He just began his Camino from Almeria. And when he awakens tomorrow morning, he will see my message about your beautiful and heartfelt documentary. God bless you. Thomas
"You will keep perfectly peaceful the one whose mind remains focused on you, because he remains in you." Is 26:3 - I loved your pilgrimage too, full of peace, faith, hope and testimony. May God bless you on the Path/Way of your life !!!
Stunning!!! I want to walk to Camino de Santiago this year.
Very inspiring, Krystof. Thanks for making and sharing your pilgrimage so generously. I have been feeling the call of Santiago recently. Even more so after watching your thoughtful film. Sending gratitude and blessings from Ireland. 🙏🙏🙏

A very inspiring journey to Camino de Santiago. We all are travelling on earth and our true home is to be with our Creator. A journey to Camino is one of many ways to transform oneself. Congratulations! I think your journey was fruitful as you were able to realize what is important in life.

Thank you Jessica for your comment. This is exactly what probably happens during each single walk to Santiago. And this Way works different for everyone. But generally this long walk makes such a big impact on pilgrim that she/he gets closer to what is really the most important in life. Returning back to Creator. Keep well on your Way! 🙏😊
Self realization with the Lord guiding you and sending his angels to aid you along the way
Thank you.
Beautiful documentary about your experience. I started planning my camino de Santiago pilgrimage with my best friend. Thank you for sharing ❣
Thx for sharing this inspirational video with us...
I loved this video. Thank you for sharing your journey. Very emotional. Very inspiring 😇 It so good to be reminded of great lessons in the personal path🙏 best wishes! Buen Camino!
Dziękuję Bardzo
A beautiful and inspiring film. Having done Camino de France this spring it was nice to reflect my own experience by looking your film. Camino-feeling is alive!
I truly enjoyed your video from beginning to end. Truly inspirational. Great videography as well as photography. Congratulations on your accomplishment. I was due to walk the camino next month but due to health complications, it has been postponed for next year. However, the intentions are still strong and will eventually get it done. I don't loose hope or faith. Godspeed. Good day from Miami, Florida (USA) and thanks for sharing your journey.
What a beautiful & personal clip u've made to share & I bet many, including myself, are blessed by your insightful journey & lots of personal touches here & there. Keep up the good work!!!
Thank you

I m in the minute 10th and really like this ... I want to do the Camino next year....i m catholic From Argentina....(edited) I m finishing it now. Your video and your pilgrim is what I want to do when I thought about doing the Camino. One question: after gijon you continued in the Camino norte or toke the Primitivo? Thanks
Wonderfully well done video. So personal, sparse, and inspiring. I dream if doing the Camino and have for some time, over 30 years, maybe not for the same reasons but it doesn’t mean I cannot draw from your experience. Your angel (and otherwise) portion of the story were great. For travelers of faith this: You shall tread upon the lion and the cobra, The young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot.
Very well thought out video , it brought back good memories for me . I followed the river on the same route via Austria to Passau and criss crossed river all the way to Basel and through France via Chateauroux and up to Houdan , I was thinking of doing it again some time , after watching this I am definitely doing the whole route in the near future . Thanks for the memories and the inspiration to get back onto the trail 🙏
Me ha parecido una auténtica lástima no poder comprenderte pero mientras te escuchaba me transmitías paz y belleza. Un saludo cordial.
Wish u good pilgrim......!!!!!......Be happy!!
I. A new subs here....keep on.God bless..soon you will have thousands of subs...lovely story.
Amazing!
Dear piligrim such a beautiful video hope you come back to do it again I did my first camino in December 2021 and planing my second in November 2033 I wish you The best in your life greeting from Miami Florida
