How do people experience spirituality through what they see, hear,
touch, and smell? Sonja Luehrmann and an international group of
scholars assess how sensory experience shapes prayer and ritual
practice among Eastern Orthodox Christians. Prayer, even when
performed privately, is considered as a shared experience and act
that links individuals and personal beliefs with a broader,
institutional, or imagined faith community. It engages with
material, visual, and aural culture including icons, relics,
candles, pilgrimage, bells, and architectural spaces. Whether
touching upon the use of icons in age of digital and electronic
media, the impact of Facebook on prayer in Ethiopia, or the
implications of praying using recordings, amplifiers, and
loudspeakers, these timely essays present a sophisticated overview
of the history of Eastern Orthodox Christianities. Taken as a whole
they reveal prayer as a dynamic phenomenon in the devotional and
ritual lives of Eastern Orthodox believers across Eastern Europe,
the Middle East, North Africa, and South Asia.
