More about the book

The exploration of Christ's tomb in Jerusalem reveals its profound impact on the development of Western Europe, influencing societal structures and artistic expression. The pilgrimage to the site spurred the creation of replicas and memorials, while the desire to control the tomb fueled the crusades. In response to losing Jerusalem, Western Europe established new pilgrimages, designated kingdoms as "holy lands," and created local pilgrimage centers. This book interweaves social, political, and religious themes, offering a comprehensive view of their interconnectedness.
