St. James's Way (Camino Lituano) is based on the Spanish Camino Se Santiago. Translated from Spanish, camino lituano means the road through Lithuania or the Lithuanian road.

The most famous place of pilgrimage in the world is the city of Santiago de Compostela in Spain, the tomb of St. James the Apostle in the cathedral and a network of roads that stretch all over Spain. Hundreds of thousands of pilgrims walk the Camino de Santiago every year.

But St. Jacob's Way leads to Spain and from other European countries, and pilgrims from all over Europe used to travel to Santiago.

Every western European country has its own St. Ways of St. James with their names in the language of that country: French - Chemin de Saint Jacques, Germans - Jakobsweg, English speakers - Saint James ways, Belgians and Dutch - Jacobsroute, etc.

Currently, pilgrimage routes are taken care of both in each country individually and throughout Europe.
