Glimpses bulletin #129: Egeria, Pilgrim to Jerusalem In Egeria's account of her pilgrimage, we have a detailed account of worship in Jerusalem during the early centuries of the church, a pattern of worship that continues to influence the Church down to our own day. Egeria noted that no one failed to be a part of the remaining ceremonies, tired though they might be from their long vigils and fasting. Everywhere she went Egeria found guides, monks, and religious leaders who would show her the sites, then she would read the Scriptures focusing on where she was and the Biblical significance of the place. chi.gospelcom.net /GLIMPSEF/Glimpses/glmps129.shtml   (1813 words)

The Holy Sepulchre - Egeria Plenty of guesses have been made, but at present it seems most likely that the pilgrim was called Egeria and that she visited the East between AD 381 and 384. Egeria was steeped, if not in the Latin classics, at least in those of the Church, and her language often echoes that of the Bible or of formal prayer. And, if Egeria intended to do no more than pass on to her sisters as accurately as possible what she had seen, we may forgive her haphazard syntax and also, it may be, begin to appreciate her rich vocabulary, and her eye for the pointed word and phrase. www.christusrex.org /www1/jhs/TSspegria.html   (1764 words)

Egeria Egeria was not the first of the pilgrims to describe her trip (see the "Pilgrim of Bordeaux" online), but she was an educated woman (a nun? The part of the manuscript that is extant begins after Egeria has been in Jerusalem for three years, where she had come from Constantinople; it ends during her description of the liturgical practices in the churches at Jerusalem, apparently written after her return to Constantinople and before she continued on her travels. We aren't sure of the author's name (different copies of Valerius' letter call her Egeria, Etheria, or Aetheria); we aren't sure where she came from (perhaps from northwestern Spain, perhaps from the Rhone area of Gaul); we aren't sure of when she made her trip (although the strongest evidence suggests the early 380s). home.infionline.net /~ddisse/egeria.html   (2703 words)

Candlemas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The earliest reference to a celebration was when the intrepid pilgrim nun Egeria, travelling in the Holy Land, 381-384 AD, reported that February 14th was a day solemnly kept in Jerusalem with a procession to Constantine's Basilica of the Resurrection a homily on Luke 2:22 (which makes the occasion perfectly clear), and a Liturgy.

St. Columba’s News Current - Education Most of what we know about the origins of Holy Week comes from the diary of a pilgrim named Egeria, a nun who visited Jerusalem in 385 and recorded her observations of this novel celebration of Holy Week in a diary for her sisters in Spain. Egeria notes that “it is astonishing how much emotion and groaning there is from all the people.” Finally, in the evening there was a last visit to the Holy Sepulcher, where the gospel passage telling of the placing of Jesus’ body in the tomb was read. From Egeria’s diary we learn that on the Sunday that marks the beginning of Holy Week, “which they call here the Great Week,” everyone gathered at the Martyrium, the church on Golgotha, where they believed Jesus had died on the cross. www.columba.org /News/Archive/2005/050302education.html   (2703 words)

The Pilgrimage of Egeria Be it noted that the pilgrim's name is currently spelled "Egeria" by most scholars. This is the place where, after Moses' death, Joshua the son of Nun was straightway filled with the spirit of wisdom, for Moses had laid his hands upon him, as it is written. Then, too, as we were going on the other side we saw the top of the mountain which overlooks the whole valley; from which place holy Moses saw the children of Israel engaged in dancing at the time when they had made the calf. www.ccel.org /m/mcclure/etheria/etheria.htm   (2703 words)

PART II Is Jerusalem's Oldest Known Synagogue Originally Christian? While visiting Jerusalem, 381—384, Egeria recorded in her diary the stations in the liturgical year which included the place where the church now stands in Sion where the Holy Spirit descended on the disciples and the location of the column at which the Lord was scourged (Egeria 37.1; Wilkinson 1971:136). Presumably John II had the octagon razed to improve pilgrim traffic flow as part of the process of readying the old synagogue for the bones of St. Stephen and the planning of the enlarged entry. Two Byzantine writers, Cyril of Jerusalem and Epiphanius, believed the location of the house of the Upper Room, served as a meeting place for Jesus’ disciples from the time of the Ascension to Pentecost, was in that part of the Upper City escaping the Roman destruction of Jerusalem in CE 70. www.bibarch.com /Perspectives/7.2A.htm   (9496 words)

A JOURNEY THROUGH THE EARLY BYZANTINE PERIOD Alexandria, burgeoning monasticism in its deserts (which the fourth-century pilgrim, Egeria, found almost crowded with monks), and several important shrines, such as that of St Menas in the Maryut desert, southwest of Alexandria. Earthenware flasks intended as pilgrim souvenirs were mass-produced at St Menas' shrine, and widely spread in the Mediterranean region. They usually offer the blessing of Menas, and picture the saint as a nimbed orant figure flanked by two camels, which, according to the saint's biography, carried his dead body to the site of his future shrine. www.fhw.gr /chronos/projects/justinian/en/journey/j5a.html   (512 words)

The Historical Development of Holy Week Services In the Orthodox/Byzantine Rite By the time a pilgrim from Spain named Egeria visited, between 381-385, when this same Cyril was in his final years as bishop of the Holy City, there had evolved unmistakable correlation between passion events and the services for each day. Partly for this reason and partly because of the general influence monastics were gaining in the Church, especially in the area of spiritual direction, the monastic rites of the Triodion began replacing the cathedral rite in the twelfth century. It is interesting to note that while in the Byzantine practice the Presanctified on Holy Friday has dropped out, this is the only day of the year in which the Latin rite has retained the Presanctified Liturgy. www.antiochian.org /midwest/Articles/Development_of_Holy_Week_Services.htm   (4120 words)

LM The ceremony of washing feet was also referred to as "the Maundy." Maundy Thursday celebrations also commemorate the institution of the eucharist by Jesus "on the night he was betrayed." Egeria, a fourth-century pilgrim to Jerusalem, describes elaborate celebrations and observances in that city on Maundy Thursday. Special celebration of the institution of the eucharist on Maundy Thursday is attested by the Council of Hippo in 381. The Prayer Book liturgy for Maundy Thursday provides for celebration of the eucharist and a ceremony of the washing of feet which follows the gospel and homily. www.episcopalchurch.org /19625_14770_ENG_HTM.htm   (4120 words)

Christian Sion Even the pilgrim Egeria describes the liturgy that was celebrated "in the church on Mount Sion" in memory of Christ's appearance after his resurrection and of Pentecoste. The Christian tradition about the authenticity of the sacred site on Sion goes back well beyond the fourth century. The Christians saw in the words of Isaiah: "For the law shall come forth from Sion: and the words of the Lord from Jerusalem", an indication of their own church whence "the word of the Gospel of our Saviour Jesus Christ and his Apostles is spread to all men" (Eusebius). www.christusrex.org /www1/ofm/san/TSsnchr.html   (643 words)

Tabgha - Church of the Multiplication of the Loaves and the Fishes This was probably the shrine described by the pilgrim Egeria at the end of the 4th century: The monastery and church at Tabgha were destroyed in the 7th century, probably during the Arab conquest of the country, and buried beneath a thick layer of silt and stones. Christians of the early Byzantine period built monastries, churches and shrines in Galilee and on the shores of the Sea of Galilee to commemorate the ministry of Jesus and the miracles ascribed to him. www.newyork.israel.org /mfa/go.asp?MFAH0g6v0   (643 words)

Millions more have made the pilgrimage without writing about it, except perhaps to their families. morgue.anglicansonline.org /010729   (643 words)

ITINERARIUM EGERIAE - Introduction Over the years, however, more and more arguments have been advanced in favor of "Egeria," the name found in the text of Valerius' letter as it is preserved in a manuscript copied in Spanish Toledo in 902. The passage excerpted below comes from a work that was once known as the Peregrinatio Aetheriae but nowadays is usually called the Itinerarium Egeriae. Unfortunately, the name of Valerius' intrepid pilgrim varies with the source of his letter. go.owu.edu /~o5medww/egeria   (2450 words)

Saint Patrick's Church: Saints of May 3 The stem and title of the Cross were venerated at Jerusalem before the end of the 4th century as described by the pilgrim Egeria and others. It is significant that the finding of the Cross is associated with Emperor Constantine, who signed the Peace of Milan permitting the toleration of Christianity as a result of a vision of the Cross in the sky. The cross may be seen in images of Philip as (1) a weapon against the dragon (paganism); (2) his instrument of martyrdom; or (3) a sign that he was a missionary preacher who stressed the victory of the Cross (Appleton). www.saintpatrickdc.org /ss/0503.htm   (2134 words)

Stations of the Cross - Devotions of the Passion Egeria, a woman from Gaul who traveled to the Holy Land in the 4th century, recalls in her diary how she joined Christians from all parts of the Roman world walking westward on Holy Thursday from the garden of Gethsemane to the church of the Holy Sepulcher, where they celebrated Jesus' death and resurrection. Over the years, the route of pilgrim processions -- beginning at the ruins of the Fortress Antonia and ending at the church of the Holy Sepulcher -- was accepted as the way that Jesus went to his death. Heading the list of places they visited was the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, which had been built by the Emperor Constantine in 335 AD atop Calvary and the tomb of Jesus. www.cptryon.org /prayer/xstations/bg1.html   (2134 words)
