From the Great Panathenaea of ancient Greece to the "hajj", people of all nationalities have made sacred journeys to confirm their faith and their part in a larger identity. This text provides a guide to the varied cultural territory such pilgrimages have covered across the ages. It explores the phenomenon and the experience of pilgrimage through an interdisciplinary approach, which uses history, religion, sociology, anthropology and art history to illustrate the range of sacred travel and map the cultural imagination.
