I define public history as public engagement, understanding, and use of the past. While I assert that pilgrimage is a public history phenomenon both in the past and in the present, my thesis will focus on American Catholic pilgrimage at the turn of the twentieth century. Each individual chapter will demonstrate that through pilgrimage, the faithful are engaged in public history in its various forms. Catholics actively took part in past-making and identity-construction in their roles as pilgrims. Through pilgrimage, Catholics were involved in the preservation and interpretation of tangible forms of heritage. On pilgrimage, pilgrims used intangible heritage practices to engage with cultural landscapes. Pilgrimage is a way of passing down tradition and knowledge, that sustains familial, community, and religious connections. My research contributes to the genealogical literature of public history by pushing the roots of the discipline outside of the United States and back hundreds, if not thousands, of years. Public historians need to seriously consider pilgrimage as an origin of the field and as a site of inquiry. The secularization that came out of the Enlightenment and is inherent within the public history field in the United States strips sacred objects and places of particular histories and meaning. The discipline does the public a disservice by artificially cordoning off religion from historical interpretation and ignoring sites that are significant due to sacredness. Although the collaboration between religious groups and public history professionals may not be clear-cut or simple, it is a valuable partnership that can add nuance, complexity, and sensuality to historic interpretations of religious spaces. The alliance is sure to bear fruit for the pilgrim as well as the tourist. iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This project has evolved and developed from its conception to its final product, and I would not have been able to complete it without the help of my family, my friends, and my professors.

She was born in 1944 into a Protestant family. Her father was in the army, and she spent several years of her childhood living in post-World War II Germany. Growing up, she attended a Sunday School associated with a Baptist church, and in her adolescence she was Episcopalian. She remembers traveling around Europe with her family as a child and admiring the many churches they visited. “I was really taken by the churches…I sometimes say that I became Catholic seeing the churches of Italy because I was so moved by how beautiful they were and that people who prayed there and worshipped there had to have something important.” As she was preparing for her marriage to Gunter Franz (a Catholic), she converted to Catholicism. When asked about how she understands her Catholicism today, she responded, “It’s just hard for me to separate my personality and my life and my activities…I mean everything is kind of a reflection of being Catholic.” Going on pilgrimage to the Holy Land is something that Wanda and her husband had been wanting to do for a while. When Gunter passed away in the fall of 2018, Wanda felt it was time to make the trip. “I had a sense of wanting to feel closer to Jesus and closer to the source of my faith and in that way also feeling closer to Gunter.” Wanda is a member of the Equestrian Order of the Knights of the Holy Sepulchre. The origins of the order are somewhat obscure, but the first documentary evidence dates back to 1336. Today, the order is a lay institution dedicated to aiding in the charitable, cultural, and social works of the Catholic Church in the Holy Land. A large portion of its members’ donations 2 go towards maintaining and preserving the historic Christian sites in Jerusalem and throughout the region. The pilgrimage that Wanda participated in was organized and led by the order. According to Wanda, once one joins the Equestrian Order of the Knights of the Holy Sepulchre, it is encouraged that one embarks on pilgrimage to the Holy Land. Wanda was also very interested in seeing the archaeological sites she had read about for many years in biblical archaeology magazines. Before leaving on pilgrimage, she expected to be impressed. The pilgrimage spanned ten days in total, with the first two days spent in Jordan visiting sites like Petra and a Christian mosaic-making factory, where they trained disabled people to make mosaics. The pilgrims then stayed three days in Galilee, and the rest of the trip they spent in Jerusalem. Father John, a Franciscan monk based out of Washington DC, served as their guide throughout the journey. At each site, he would begin by reading the relevant Bible passages associated with the site, he would then give the pilgrims historical context to situate the Bible scenes within contemporary life in Judea, and then he would give information on the site, such as when it was founded, some historical background, and some architectural interpretations. Pilgrims would then get some time to walk freely within the space (often a church). The highlights of the pilgrimage for Wanda were participating in a solemn procession into the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, where she was able to touch the stone where Jesus had been prepared for burial, and walking along the Via Dolorosa holding a cross, as Jesus did as he marched to his crucifixion. In regard to the Via Dolorosa, Wanda explained that it was very meaningful to “be a part of that and know that this is where everybody walks on Holy Friday.” The pilgrimage organizers paid for a local photographer to take pictures as the pilgrims took turns carrying the cross.

  • For a History of the Use of the Antoninian Baths: Owners, Excavations and Dispossession
    ArcHistoR anno VII (2020) n. 13 For a History of the Use of the Antoninian Baths: Owners, Excavations and Dispossession Isabella Salvagni For centuries, the monumental ruins of the Baths of Caracalla in Rome have attracted the attention of humanists, philologists and antique dealers, tickling their curiosity and arousing imaginative reconstructions. From the forefathers to the spokespersons of modern archaeology, it is this discipline that has mostly directed and guided the most recent studies on the complex, from the 1800s to today. However, while the ‘archaeological’ vocation constitutes the most evident and representative essence of these remains, for over a thousand years the whole area over which they lay was mainly used as agricultural land divided and passed on from hand to hand through countless owners. An attempt is made to provide a brief overview of this long and little-known history of use, covering the 300 years from the mid-16th century to the Unification of Italy. Starting from the identification of some of the many figures who have alternated over time as owners of the individual estates in different capacities, the story gives us a valuable amount of information also relating to what the owners themselves, as customers, have deliberated and conducted on the farms which they used, cultivating them, building and directing stripping, excavation, accommodation, reuse, and destruction operations, while providing us with useful data for the analysis of the transformative mechanisms of the land use of this portion of the city, to be related to the more general urban history of Rome.

Il complesso fu edificato negli ultimi due decenni del ‘400 per la munificenza di un mercante di Genova, Medialuce Cicala, che decise di assistere i suoi connazionali in difficoltà. All’epoca il porto fluviale di Roma era situato nella zona dove ora si trova l’Ospizio del San Michele; intorno all’approdo gravitava una svariata umanità di mercanti, marinai, pescatori, barcaioli, facchini, osti, locandieri e tra loro erano numerosi i cittadini della Repubblica di Genova Il Cicala lasciò i suoi beni legandoli alla costruzione di una chiesa e di un ospedale destinati ad accogliere i suoi connazionali malati; l’ospedale fu edificato dopo il 1482 mentre la chiesa, dedicata a San Giovanni Battista, è citata dalle fonti la prima volta nel 1492.

    My journey continues... Written by: Gail Nampel You may remember during the fall of 2014, I shared that I was excited to be on a stewardship journey and invited anyone that felt called, to join me. Recently, my journey took me to Italy and I’m thrilled and honored to share the experience with you. This past December, while doing some work on my computer, I received an email from Mountain Bu- torac ‘The Catholic Traveler’ announcing that he was offering “A Low Season” pilgrimage to Rome and Assisi. A one-week, all-inclusive pilgrimage that included daily Mass at destinations like The Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi, St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome, The Cathedral Basilica of St. Augustine, The Pontifical North American College. Plus, we’d step through six sets of Holy Doors, tour the Basilicas of St. Clare, St Mary Major, St. Paul Outside the Walls, St. John Lateran, the Vatican Museum, attend the Pope’s General Audience on Ash Wednesday, take the Scavi Tour, climb The Holy Stairs at the Chapel Volume of2, IssueSan Lorenzo3 and much, much, more! – This trip was being offered to the first sixteen people that replied…for a price that was FAR less than one might expect! What was there to think about? I’ve been wanting to do this for so long and finally had the opportunity! I immediately replied with a HUGE affirmative! I’m in! I’m going! My fellow pilgrims and I landed at the airport in Rome on Sunday, February 7th at 10:30 AM, boarded a bus and headed to the incredibly picturesque city of Assisi, situated in the slopes of Mount Subasio.

The earlier series illustrates the elegant, but textually absurd, Chaucer folio edited by John Urry. Published in 1721, it is accessible today in major libraries. 2 The later series, never published, consists of brown wash drawings com- pleted in 1781 by James Jefferys, a prolific young artist who died soon thereafter.
