These two statues symbolize the joy of so many people who, after a pilgrimage of days or weeks on the "Way of the Stars", now have their big goal in mind, Santiago de Compostela with the tomb of the Apostle James the Elder.

The Franciscan Brother Peter Fobes writes in his pilgrim guide:
"Of course, the motives and experiences of the individual pilgrims are very personal and accordingly differ from one another. Nevertheless, there are some experiences that are mentioned again and again, so obviously many ... are in common, especially the encounter with people who also follow Santiago are on the way. Some walk a certain distance together ... Very deep conversations often develop and the togetherness brings about a mutual strengthening of faith. "
(Peter Fobes OFM in "Pilgrim Traces of the Centuries", B.Kühlen Verlag 2011)
