What Was A Medieval Pilgrimage Like?

[@assault410]

Adultery, murder, playing mono red. All actions that require a pilgrimage to absolve your sins.

[@MyDj56]

God plays Mono-Red. Killing Eqyptians via fire tornados, immolating impertinent priests, being jealous and wrathful. So, in conclusion, go on pilgrimage for playing mono-blue

[@assault410]

@@MyDj56 playing the color of God seems like blasphemy to me

[@pepijnwarmerdam8784]

@@MyDj56 but god also used floods as a boardwipe and made it rain blood and frogs so there's an argument to be made for UR. Or even Grixis if you take into account the plagues and the angel of death.

Glad you're back!

I live in Canterbury!!! Commenting from the city right now, though not quite within site of the cathedral! Fun fact, Dr Lackner, the LGS where I draft following your other channel’s videos excellent teaching, is a 2 minutes walk from one of the cathedral gates!

[@NizzahonHistory]

That's pretty neat! I was doing research in London in 2016 and took a train to Canterbury on a day trip to see the cathedral and other stuff. The pilgrimage is much easier today haha.

Along with badges you could also get a shirt that said "I went to Jerusalem and all I got was this t shirt"

[@NizzahonHistory]

But if you got a badge the shirt would be inaccurate!

[@MrCyberGal]

Glad to see you back.

[@acolyte1951]

I appreciate your effort!

[@NizzahonHistory]

Thanks!

[@lordfirefalcon1097]

Wow, dripping with style and knowledge today Prof Lackner!

Really enjoyed that, thank you !!

Great info well delivered.

And people still go to Santiago! Not just for religious reasons, either. Mine was partially religious, but also it was a bit of a walking vacation. I got to walk through beautiful Spanish countryside and meet people from all over the world. And every night I got a hot shower and slept in a real bed, as opposed to doing the Appalachian trail or similar wilderness hiking. Nearly half a million people did the Camino this year.

Always interesting great work

[@NizzahonHistory]

Thanks again!

[@shadowsnake94]

I wonder if they had "I (heart) Jerusalem" tunics and scrolls that said "Jerusalem" with all the landmarks of Jerusalem inside the letters

@8:50 A Knight's Tale? Oh wait no, the other one.

[@NizzahonHistory]

The movie is just called "Becket"

[@nicholassalvato8845]

Don’t know if this is in your field of study, but I’ve been reading henry’s chronicle of Livonia and he refers to what I assume to be military settlers in the region as “pilgrims.” Can you speak to pilgrimage to the Baltic at all? Why would a region historically outside of christendom be a “pilgrimage” site?

[@NizzahonHistory]

I would guess it relates to the Baltic Crusades, where "pilgrim" may have stuck around even though the crusaders aren't going on pilgrimage.

[@MarkVrem]

Reminds me of Pilgrims that settled in southern Massachusetts. But northern Massachusetts is settled by Puritans and Pirates. The city of Boston gets formed by that pirate/puritan dynamic. Pilgrims on the other hand kind of eventually get shunned by the British crown and end up vassalized by Bay Colony/Boston. I guess Plymouth Rock is a sort of a pilgrimage site now. Point is, maybe there were different groups of people in Latvia as well. Some Crusaders and other Pilgrims. Latvia being some sort of promised holy land, like the New World was/is.

Nice suit man.

Thanks!

If you were on a long trip so you could be forgiven at the end, would you be partying like crazy? Some of these folks were having a great hippie trip.

[@IoAKAIolite]

When you remember he ha- WAIT his name if Jacob?

[@nickbalmes6640]

Given the chance, I would love to go on a pilgrimage/trip to both Israel and the Vatican. I have always been curious about the culture behind these very important places for Catholicism as a whole. Oh former Catholic btw :)

[@NizzahonHistory]

Both places are very worth going even if you don't believe in their religious significance.

[@TempestDacine]

Nizzahon complete canterbury tales summary plz haha

[@NizzahonHistory]

Haha that would be pretty intense
