epa00132069 Spanish pilgrim Juan Carlos Lema, alias "Zapatones" (Big Shoes), kisses the hand of Spanish Crown Prince Felipe de Borbon (L), during the celebration to mark the beginning of Holy Year Jacobeo 2004 in the northeastern Spanish town of Roncevalles on Monday, 09 February 2004. A Jacobeo holy year occurs whenever the feast day of St. James, July 25, falls on a Sunday, as it does in 2004. Since the tenth century, pilgrims from around Europe have converged along several routes on the northern Spanish city of Santiago de Compostela where it is believed St. James the Apostle (Santiago) is buried.
