Pilgrimage to Rome in the Middle Ages: Continuity and Change (Studies in the History of Medieval Religion) - Hardcover
Synopsis
Rome was one of the major pilgrim destinations in the Middle Ages. The belief that certain objects and places were a focus of holiness where pilgrims could come closer to God had a long history in Christian tradition, echoed by the view of life itself as a pilgrimage, so that the earthly journey became a substitute for getting to heaven. In the case of Rome, the pilgrimage tradition developed around Rome's two important martyrs, Christ's apostles Peter and Paul. So strong were the city's associations with these apostles that pilgrimage to Rome was often referred to as pilgrimage to the threshold of the apostles.

Review
Debra Birch's lively account of pilgrimage to Rome throughout the medieval period is well-documented and clearly presented. --History Today
Well researched, clearly written, and, quite apart from the eternal city, provides an excellent introduction to pilgrimage as a whole. --Church Times
