  • Pilgrims on the Route to Santiago De Compostela, Spain: Evidence from the 12Th-Century Pilgrim’S Guide
    1 The Experience of Medieval Pilgrims on the Route to Santiago de Compostela, Spain: Evidence from the 12th-century Pilgrim’s Guide Tessa Garton* College of Charleston, South Carolina, USA The dramatic rise in popularity of the pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela in the 11th and 12th centuries is reflected in the 12th-century Pilgrim’s Guide, which provides information about shrines to visit and the experiences of pilgrims along the four main routes through France and northern Spain – routes which are used by pilgrims to this day. This chapter examines the information provided in the Pilgrim’s Guide with an emphasis on the physical, visual and spiritual experiences of pilgrims along the route. The Guide describes the characteristics of the lands, peoples, local customs and food and drink experienced on the journey, as well as the miraculous qualities of saints whose shrines should be visited on the way, and in some cases the visual imagery of their shrines. Scholars have tended to emphasize the typical ‘pilgrimage church’ plan exemplified by the churches at Santiago, Toulouse or Conques, but a study of both the guide and the surviving churches reveals a rich variety of architectural forms and imagery that would have been experienced by 12th-century pilgrims along the pilgrimage routes. Each shrine emphasized the validity and significance of its relics, and the arrangement of the sacred space and visual imagery was frequently designed to demonstrate the miraculous powers or qualities of the local saint, as well as to encourage, warn and influence the behaviour and beliefs of devotees visiting the shrine.

For more information, please contact [email protected]. Lutz 1 Introduction to Late Medieval Pilgrimage Architecture By Gerhard Lutz In recent years studies on the functional and liturgical aspects of late medieval churches have evolved as a central topic of historical and art-historical scholarship. The fur- nishings of a church, such as panels, sculptures, tapestries, and precious books are no longer understood as separate artistic expressions, but are placed into a context of contemporaneous piety and theology. One recent focal point for such scholarship was female monasticism,1 but the scattered scrutiny of pilgrimage architecture has not yet been subject to this kind of syn- thesis.2 This introduction seeks to outline the reasons for this significant absence of research and to develop some possible questions for further studies in this field. An art historical ap- proach to late medieval pilgrimage architecture requires attention to several "hurdles": The majority of pilgrimage churches combine other functions as well, such as cathedrals (Co- logne), collegiate monasteries (Aachen) or abbeys (Weingarten).

Key term: Pilgramage BRIDGES: Open-mindedness Lesson objective: - Explore the history of pilgrimage, Church teachings about pilgrimage and explain why pilgrimage is important for Christians today Copy the keywords into your glossary Pilgrimage: a journey by a believer to a holy site for religious reasons; pilgrimage is itself an act of worship and devotion Lourdes: is a town in southwestern France, a major Roman Catholic pilgrimage site. Iona: is a small island in the Inner Hebrides on the western coast of Scotland. It was a centre of Gaelic monasticism for four centuries and is today renowned for its tranquillity and natural beauty. Lindisfarne: the Holy Island of Lindisfarne is located off the Northumberland coast.

(Make notes from this information into neat books) • A pilgrimage is a journey to a place regarded as holy for the believer. This journey may be made alone or with others. • The believer makes a physical journey but people feel a sense of spirituality and that they are closer to God. The places of pilgrimage are usually linked to Jesus or a saint or to events of religious significance or to healings that are seen to be miraculous (inexplicable by science).

  • The Catholic Church in the Czech Republic
    The Catholic Church in the Czech Republic Dear Readers, For many people, the Catholic Church is an overly complex organ- ism. We hope that this slim publication will help readers to form an image of the Church’s organizational structure and the diversi- ty of the community which in two thousand years has grown out of the cluster of Jesus’s disciples. For more than eleven centuries, the Church has been a part of our society. Today, it is a great tree with deep roots, bearing highly diverse fruits in many areas. Pictures, numbers and names, however, fail to capture its life or in- ner mystery. The Church calls itself the mysterious body of Christ, whose soul is the Holy Spirit. It believes that Jesus himself is mys- teriously present amongst those who have an attitude of love, that he himself shapes the lives of people who, in their attitudes and deeds, accept his word and that the Kingdom of God itself grows in the world through people who put Christ in the primary position in their lives. At the same time, all its members are aware of their weakness, wretchedness and sinfulness, but their hope is in the mercy of God. Joy from God is then the main source of testi- mony and service to society and to individuals. My wish for all readers is that in this publication they find the infor- mation they are looking for, and that they themselves experience something of the mystery of the Divine presence in living contact with people of faith or with entire communities in families, par- ishes, religious orders and movements, church schools or chari- ties.
