This book presents a range of case-studies of pilgrimage in Graeco-Roman antiquity, drawing on a wide variety of evidence. It rejects the usual reluctance to accept the category of pilgrimage in pagan polytheism and affirms the significance of sacred mobility not only as an important factor in understanding ancient religion and its topographies but also as vitally ancestral to later Christian practice.

The pilgrimage that I took this time was with Pilgrim Tours, and it began with a cruise on the Celestyal Olympia in the Mediterranean Sea. Sailing on the ancient sea made me think of the voyage that Odysseus took back home after the Trojan War, and it also made me think of the missionary journeys that Apostle Paul took as he embarked on the mission to bring the Christian gospel to the Greco-Roman world. This was, after all, a "traveling in the footsteps of St. Paul" trip, even though some of the places were not where he walked or taught. Nevertheless, they were places that were important in the wider context of understanding the Greco-Roman world that he was a part of. The first stop on the journey was at Mykonos, the island of the wind and windmills. The second stop--Ephesus--was an archaeological site where the ancient Temple of Artemis (Diana) stood. Patmos, the island of the Apocalypse, was where the dramatic unveiling of the book of Revelation was envisioned by the Apostle John in a natural cave. Crete, the world-renowned island of the mythical labyrinth and the Minotaur, was the center of the Minoan civilization. Santorini, also known as Thera, was, to me, the island that made me wonder about the legendary island of Atlantis. Ancient Corinth is the place where the Bible comes to life. Ancient Mycenae, although of no apparent biblical importance, is of great cultural and historical value in that it is associated with the legends of Homer. In Athens, the visit to the Parthenon atop the Acropolis is the highlight of any pilgrimage or tour. Rome, the Eternal City, is always the culmination of any pilgrimage.

This volume deals with the origins and rise of Christian pilgrimage cults in late antique Egypt. Part One covers the major theoretical issues in the study of Coptic pilgrimage, such as sacred landscape and shrines' catchment areas, while Part Two examines native Egyptian and Egyptian Jewish pilgrimage practices. Part Three investigates six major shrines, from Philae's diverse non-Christian devotees to the great pilgrim center of Abu Mina and a Thecla shrine on its route. Part Four looks at such diverse pilgrims' rites as oracles, chant, and stational liturgy, while Part Five brings in Athanasius's and an anonymous hagiographer's perspectives on pilgrimage in Egypt. The volume includes illustrations of the Abu Mina site, pilgrims' ampules from the Thecla shrine, as well as several maps.

Pilgrims And Pilgrimage In Ancient Greece written by Matthew Dillon and has been published by Routledge this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2013-04-15 with History categories.

This volume explores the religious motivations for pilgrimage and reveals the main preoccupations of worshippers in Ancient Greece. Dillon examines the main sanctuaries of Delphi, Epidauros and Olympia, as well as the less well-known oracle of Didyma in Asia Minor and the festivals at the Isthmus of Corinth. He discusses the modes of travel to the sites, means of communication between pilgrims and the religious and ritual practices at the sanctuaries themselves. A unique insight into pilgrimage in Ancient Greece is presented, focusing on the diverse aspects of pilgrimage; the role of women and children, the religious festivals of particular ethnic groups and the colourful celebrations involving music, athletics and equestrian events. Pilgrims and Pilgrimage in Ancient Greece is an accessible and fascinating volume, which reveals how the concept of pilgrimage contributes to Greek religion as a whole.

Pilgrims in Place, Pilgrims in Motion: Sacred Travel in the Ancient Mediterranean brings together exciting interdisciplinary scholarship on the connected poles of pilgrimage: the sanctuaries being visited, and the journeys to get there. Contributions investigate different concepts of place, community, social tensions and expectations of pilgrim behaviour; long-term meanings of place as embodied in memory and topography; mobility, migration and place-making; connectivity and its relationship to pilgrimage. Individual chapters discuss shrines, sanctuaries and sacred places as well as journeys and mobility across Greek, Roman and late antique contexts, framed as part of a key debate within the study of pilgrimage, the central tension between place and motion.

A PILGRIMAGE WITH JESUS OF NAZARETH INTO THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY Daniel J. Theron, B.D., M.A., Th./Ph.D. The uniqueness of his book lies in its philosophy of changing, progressive, interpretations of the meandering pilgrimage of Jesus and his pilgrims into the twenty-first century. Jesus was born while a vast cultural and religious tsunami inundated the Greco-Roman world. This possibly onetime heretic rabbi led in snapping moorings of age-old anchored Judaic life and thinking lashed down by hundreds of unbearable prescriptions and proscriptions. Crucifying this admired, innocent man, the Messiah for many, created a powerful catalyst for all centuries to come. Employing ancient Israeli custom of history enhancement with lores and legends, his followers proclaimed his life with extraordinary lores and legends. Thousands of Jewish converts began a magnificent procession still lasting into the twenty-first century. While prosecuting believers, this crucifixion catalyst struck a young, brilliant, dedicated Pharisee, likely an approving witness of the crucifixion himself. Miraculously Christianity's theologically oriented, indefatigable missionary-heretic is born the Apostle Paul. In the Greco-Roman world he founded what became the Church universal. His letters constitute his Gospel before the Gospels. Jerusalem's destruction (A.D. 70) added many Jewish Christians to this Church. Translations of their oral, Aramaic, Messiah traditions inspired some twenty-one Gospels. The Bible is constituted. Lores and legends will remain important, even today, and symbolic of God's omnipotence and presence in human life. The Church became the Trustee of Christianity. In the Nicene Creed it ignored the Old Testament, Pauline, and Gospel monotheism compass. It lost all Judaic support. It created an insufferable bureaucracy. Another fullness of time the Reformation eventuated. Part of the Church recognized another Gordian knot confronting it. Rather than cutting it in two, it cut the rope behind it, and has been dragging an ever increasing knot along. Today an inevitable fullness of time confronts the Trustee as it confronted Jesus and Paul. Forty creeds and confessions notwithstanding, unless the Trustee cuts the knot in two as they did, the great procession is in grave, grave danger in the rationalistic twenty-first century, for pilgrims are leaving! Read the book and see for yourself.
