SUMMER LECTURE SERIES 2009
The UA Division for Late Medieval and Reformation
Studies
with St. Philip's in the Hills Episcopal Church |
 |
| "PILGRIMAGE"
This year’s Division for Late Medieval and Reformation Studies’
speakers will take us back in time to the Middle Ages and lead
us to four pilgrimage sites that were very significant for
European Christianity: The Holy Land, Rome, Canterbury, and Santiago
de Compostela. We
will imagine the pilgrims’ journeys and listen in on their
social interactions.
We will hear of sites that memorialize Christ’s life, a major
saint’s life, a great miracle, or divine appearance, and we will
learn of the rituals that evolved in association with each
place. The lectures
will probe the motives of pilgrims.
Did they originate in piety, penance for a sin committed,
the fulfillment of a vow, and/or the search for a miraculous
cure?
