“…As we might expect, the most prominent, and celebrated, pilgrimages in the Middle Ages were indeed long ones. The majority of first-person pilgrim narratives extant from the period document the trials and tribulations of Western pilgrims travelling to Rome and the Holy Land (for example, Birch 1998;Wilkinson 1988Wilkinson , 1999Wilkinson , 2002 and, from the eleventh century, to Santiago de Compostela (Lomax 1985). These were the main, once-in-a-lifetime, sacred destinations, although some intrepid pilgrims-such as the indefatigable mystic and traveller Margery Kempe, and her near contemporary and compatriot, William Wey-expressed their piety and endurance by tackling all three (Kempe 2004;Wey 2010).…”

Micro Pilgrimages: A New Post-Secular Trend?

The word “micro” or “mini” is increasingly appearing in relation to pilgrimage. A Guardian article in December 2021 described a guided pilgrimage walk in Sussex as a “micro pilgrimage”; in the spring of 2022, six “micro pilgrimages” took place in southern England. However, what is a micro pilgrimage, and what has prompted its sudden surge in popularity? This article explores this seemingly innovative practice, focusing on Britain, where it is particularly prevalent. It shows how and why micro pilgrimages became particularly prominent during the COVID-19 pandemic, and discusses their continuing popularity today. A micro pilgrimage is usually understood as a pilgrimage which is completed in one day or less, an idea—the article argues—which has arisen from assumptions that short pilgrimages are a departure from the norm. The article challenges this notion by showing that, throughout Western history, long journeys have been in the minority. However, while arguing that micro pilgrimages have been with us since the Middle Ages, the article also recognizes that there is much which is indeed new about modern forms of the practice.

“…Through it you will see a small altar made in honour of Holy Cross. 162 To the 'right of this little chapel' was the tomb of one St Pilgrinus. 163 Its location now unknown, Denys Pringle suggests the Holy Cross chapel lay within the main hermitage, just before one reached the monastic cave-church of the priory.…”

Recreating the Judean Hills? English hermits and the Holy Land

This article explores the place of the Holy Land in the devotions of medieval English hermits and recluses between the eleventh and thirteenth centuries. It first outlines the important place of physical travel to Palestine in the career of anchorites, with pilgrimage to Jerusalem followed by seclusion held up as a powerful ideal in literary sources. It then suggests that some of the dwellings of English solitaries formed deliberate monumental recreations of the holy places of Palestine. I consider the extent to which the cells of recluses were understood as recreations of the tomb of Christ, functioning as living Easter Sepulchre structures, and the dedication of churches used or built by hermit and recluses. Finally, I note possible links between the hermitage of St Robert of Knaresborough and Jabal Quruntul (Mount Quarentayne), the site of Christ's temptations in the wilderness.

“…The Greek realm within the Mediterranean Latin-ruled context was a strategic geographical area lying between East and West, where different confessional and linguistic communities coexisted, merged and left their imprint on the entire Mediterranean basin. Lying on the main sea route leading from Wilkinson 1977;De Sandoli 1979Wilkinson, Hill and Ryan 1988;Huygens 1994. However, the later pilgrims' reports from the 14th and 15th centuries are scattered in old publications.…”
