Produktinformationen "Shrines, Relics, and Saints"
In Shrines, Relics, and Saints,the eminent medievalist André Vauchez explores the evolution of spaces in Christianity – chapels, monasteries, holy wells, grottos, and other holy places – that are considered sacred because they house the relics of a saint or because they preserve the memory of an appearance by a saint, angel, or the Virgin Mary. From famous sanctuaries that still attract multitudes of pilgrims – in Jerusalem, Rome, Tours, Assisi, and Compostela – to local shrines in villages, towns, and wild places across the continent, these sanctuaries were frequented by pilgrims in search of miraculous healings of body and soul. Together, they formed a network comprising new forms of sacredness and spiritual practice. A masterwork in the history of Christianity, Shrines, Relics, and Saints traces pilgrimage routes to major sanctuaries, follows saints' relics as they were transferred from East to West, and examines the Church's ambiguous and sometimes antagonistic relationship to sites of popular worship.
