Figure 6.2. The Holy Lands were divided into Roman dioceses or governing provinces. Shown above are the cities of Edessa in the northeast and Tarsus and Seleucea (Seleucia) in the northwest. [Baker Publishing Group]
The multifaceted topic of pilgrimage drew much attention in the fourth through sixth centuries. Laity, religious, and clergy alike weighed in on the benefits and drawbacks of traveling to holy sites. Often such evaluations had more to do with personal grievances between leading figures, or political maneuvering between local bishops and clergy. Yet the flow of pilgrims to holy sites, especially in the Holy Lands, continued to grow. Piety fashioned around venerating relics and holy sites captured the imagination of Christians, as Egeria’s story testifies.
