It is an event seeking to bring together modernity and tradition, technology and ethnography, famous artists and new talents. To sum up, a festival which could not be dogmatic if it tried. The festival was first hosted in 1992 and takes place every year during the second fortnight of July in Aragon's Pyrenees (Lanuza-Sallent de Gállego, in the Huesca province). Much of what goes on takes place on the Lanuza lake.

Events

Xacobeo 2010

This Holy Year offers a unique opportunity to celebrate the Camino de Santiago as a place of pilgrimage and a meeting point for people of different nations that has become a symbol of fraternity over the centuries and a corner stone of an awareness of Europe, as affirmed by the Prince of Asturias Award for Concord won in 2004.

The Holy Year Xacobeo 2010 is very important as it symbolises the end of a cycle which has been particularly prominent for the number of pilgrims who have followed the Camino de Santiago over the years. Given the leap years, the Feast of St. James on 25th July falls on a Sunday every 11, 6, 5, 6 and then 11 years. So there won’t be another ‘Jacobeo’ until 2021.

In order to obtain the jubilee, all pilgrims must honour the three traditions:

  • Visit the grave of the Apostle in the Cathedral and pray.
  • Receive the Sacrament of Confession (either in the Cathedral or anywhere else, two weeks earlier or afterwards).
  • Receive communion.

This indulgence is applicable to the deceased. Jubilee indulgences are granted once a day under the following conditions:
  • Visiting the Cathedral while praying.
  • Receiving the Sacraments of Confession (two weeks earlier or afterwards) and the Holy Communion.

The Xacobeo 2010 programme has been designed to satisfy the cultural needs of different audiences and different ages. Large and small scale shows, musical performances and projects are being organised covering a range of artistic disciplines: photography, animation and film, and exhibitions.
