'A timely, wide-ranging and well-researched book that expanded my
understanding of pilgrimage' Tristan Gooley, author of How To Read
A TreeThis year, as they have for millennia, many people around the
world will set out on pilgrimages. But these are not only journeys
of personal and spiritual devotion - they are also political acts,
affirmations of identity and engagements with deep-rooted
historical narratives. Kathryn Hurlock follows the trail of
pilgrimage through nineteen sacred sites - from the temples of
Jerusalem to the banks of the Ganges, by way of Iona, Lourdes,
Amritsar and Buenos Aires - revealing the many ways in which this
ancient practice has shaped our religions and our world.Pilgrimages
have transformed the fates of cities, anointed dynasties, provided
guidance in hard times and driven progress in good. Filled with
fascinating insights, Holy Places unveils the complex histories and
contemporary endurance of one of our most fundamental human urges.
