This book provides a comprehensive exploration of the history, evolution, and significance of pilgrimage from the medieval period to the present day, examining the interplay between religious devotion, personal transformation, social dynamics, and the environment. Beginning with an analysis of the medieval roots of pilgrimage, the text traces the practice's development through key historical events such as the Crusades, the rise of chivalric ideals, and the flourishing of pilgrimage routes like those to Santiago de Compostela, Rome, and Jerusalem. The book delves into the theological and spiritual motivations behind pilgrimage, exploring how it functioned as both an act of penance and a means of securing divine favor.
