Peachtree Road United Methodist Church in Atlanta, Georgia will hold a concert series called “Path of Miracles.”
On a Facebook post on Monday, Aug. 22, the church said the series is a cappella masterpiece by British composer Joby Talbot.
The church said it expresses each pilgrim's experience as it travels between four of the important staging areas along the Camino de Santiago.
It added that mystical and epic work, which alludes to the numerous legends of saints, miracles, and traditions connected with the path, depicts the physical and spiritual development of the traveler.
Peachtree Road United Methodist Church conjures up images of pilgrim or martyr shrines, antiquated hospices, the pilgrim's passport, and Finisterre's symbolic clothes burning to represent a rejection of the pilgrim's former life.
The event will be held on Sunday, Sept. 18, at 7 p.m. at the church’s sanctuary, the post read.
Meanwhile, at 6:30 p.m. Pre-Concert Lecture with Oliver Brett will be held, it added.

Church’s History
On April 28, 1925, Peachtree Road was established in the Salters' house, the church said.
The church said Reverend E.H. Wood was appointed as the first pastor when they were established as the Peachtree Road Methodist Church.
Nineteen people joined Peachtree Road during that initial meeting, according to the church.
The new church bought a plot of land at the intersection of Sardis Way and Peachtree Road in May 1925. On June 7, 1925, both the first Sunday School gathering and the first public service were held at Peachtree Road.
The church bought the land at 3180 Peachtree Road in 1941 after selling the property it owned at the intersection of Peachtree Road and Sardis Way, according to the church.
Then, it constructed The Great Hall in 1942, and they used it for public worship there until 1949.
Since that time, the Great Hall in the church's back has been in use and is currently called the Hall of Apostles, the church said.
