The Miracle of Amsterdam presents a "cultural biography" of a Dutch
devotional manifestation. According to tradition, on the night of
March 15, 1345, a Eucharistic host thrown into a burning fireplace
was found intact hours later. A chapel was erected over the spot,
and the citizens of Amsterdam became devoted to their "Holy Stead."
From the original Eucharistic processions evolved the custom of
individual devotees walking around the chapel while praying in
silence, and the growing international pilgrimage site contributed
to the rise and prosperity of Amsterdam. With the arrival of the
Reformation, the Amsterdam Miracle became a point of contention
between Catholics and Protestants, and the changing fortunes of
this devotion provide us a front-row seat to the challenges facing
religion in the world today. Caspers and Margry trace these
transformations and their significance through the centuries, from
the Catholic medieval period through the Reformation to the present
day.
