This volume provides a theoretically and empirically-grounded study
of the significance of landscape in the experience of Christian
pilgrimage across different denominations and its intersection with
cultural heritage and tourism. The book focuses on pilgrimages to
Meteora (Greece), Subiaco (Italy) and the Isle of Man. These are
each sites of scenic beauty that boast a rich heritage associated
respectively to Greek Orthodox, Roman Catholic and Ecumenical/
Protestant denominations. The study discusses different Christian
theologies, practices and perspectives on the nature and the
purpose of pilgrimage in these traditions. It draws on participant
experiential accounts, archival research, and interviews with
clergy, laity and local stakeholders. Special attention is paid to
the themes of sacred space and practice, aesthetics, mobilities,
embodiment and performance, emotional geographies, theology,
cultural heritage, consumption and commodification, and the
pilgrim-tourist continuum.
