Hidden deep in the most remote corners of Syria there are a number
of extraordinary sites of particular significance. These Syrian
places of pilgrimage are visited by members of a wide variety of
religious communities and still today exert a huge attraction on
the local population. Always located at places with extraordinary
natural formations, these shrines are associated with ancient myths
and legends, and are regarded amongst the pilgrims as the property
of various Islamic and Christian saints. The present book presents
20 of these Syrian places of pilgrimage and the myths and legends
associated with them. Numerous illustrations in colour present an
impression of the caves, crevices, mountain peaks, strange trees or
holy springs at which the shrines are located. In the second part
of the book, the author addresses the question of why it is
precisely these places that are regarded as holy, and he examines
the importance that they have in modern everyday life of the
Syrians.
