After the resurrection of Christ, the Apostle James preached his doctrine in the Iberian Peninsula and did it very successfully. In the year 44 from the Nativity of Christ, his zeal was rewarded - he was beheaded. The disciples sent the remains of the Saint to the will of the waves in a boat. It is believed that in 813g. the boat was found on the coast of Galicia, where she arrived from the eastern Mediterranean after many centuries. At this time, the Reconquista began - the expulsion of the Moors, the Apostle became its banner and heavenly patron of Spain.→
