During the Nineteenth-Century a major revival in religious
pilgrimage took place across Europe. This phenomenon was largely
started by the rediscovery of several holy burial places such as
Assisi, Milano, Venice, Rome and Santiago de Compostela, and
subsequently developed into the formation of new holy sites that
could be visited and interacted with in a wholly Modern way. This
uniquely wide-ranging collection sets out the historic context of
the formation of contemporary European pilgrimage in order to
better understand its role in religious expression today. Looking
at both Western Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Europe, an
international panel of contributors analyse the revival of some
major Christian shrines, cults and pilgrimages that happened after
the rediscovery of ancient holy burial sites or the constitution of
new shrines in locations claiming apparitions of the Virgin Mary.
They also shed new light on the origin and development of new
sanctuaries and pilgrimages in France and the Holy Land during the
Nineteenth Century, which led to fresh ways of understanding the
pilgrimage experience and had a profound effect on religion across
Europe. This collection offers a renewed overview of the
development of Modern European pilgrimage that used intensively the
new techniques of organisation and travel implemented in the
Nineteenth-Century. As such, it will appeal to scholars of
Religious Studies, Pilgrimage and Religious History as well as
Anthropology, Art, Cultural Studies, and Sociology.
