Why the Scallop?

The scallop shell is generally known as a symbol of pilgrimage. It was used to symbolize the Christian's journey towards heaven, evoking the Letter to the Hebrews and how we "are pilgrims and strangers on the earth" (Hebrews 11:13).

The Catechism further explains how, "Pilgrimages evoke our earthly journey toward heaven and are traditionally very special occasions for renewal in prayer. For pilgrims seeking living water, shrines are special places for living the forms of Christian prayer" (CCC 2691).
