	ITINERARIUM EGERIAE - Introduction
		Egeria, on the other hand, was away in the Holy Land for more than three years, and, after having reached Constantinople at the end of her travelogue, she was in no hurry to return home.
		Egeria's account of her pilgrimage is full of Vulgar usages, and, therefore, her Latin reveals the Romance languages in embryo to a much greater extent than does the language of self-consciously literary writers.
		Egeria knows of Edessa on account of its monks and hermits, its shrine of St. Thomas, and the letter that Christ was supposed to have written to one of its kings.

	Egeria (nun) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Because Valerius called her a nun, and because she writes to her "sorores" (Latin for "sisters"), she has generally been assumed to be a nun.
		The middle part of Egeria's writing survived and was copied in the Codex Aretinus, which was written at Monte Cassino in the eleventh century, while the beginning and end are lost.
		Egeria describes the monks, many holy places and geographical points in her travels and even the early details of the liturgical practices of the church at Jerusalem.

	MusL 242: EGERIA (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Egeria describes the Sunday Service as "what is everywhere the custom on the Lord's Day." On this day, any presbyter may preach before the bishop's sermon, which greatly increases the length of the service.
		Egeria explains that the length of preaching is increased so that "the people will continually be learning about the Bible and the love of God." Another difference between this service and the others previously described is that after the dismissal, only the faithful are allowed to enter the Anastasis to be blessed by the bishop.
		Egeria tells that "what [she] found most impressive about all this was that the psalms and antiphons [the church used were] always appropriate." This could imply that these psalms and antiphons were part of the proper chants used in the liturgy.

	The Holy Sepulchre - Egeria
		The bishop who met Egeria at Edessa was impressed by the fact that she had come "right from the other end of the earth" and she herself compares the colour of the Red Sea with that of the "Ocean".
		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.
		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.

		But in the 7th century a monk named Valerius wrote a praise about Egeria that gives us a sketch of the rest.
		Egeria wrote down her observations in a book called Itinerarium Egeriae, or the Travels.
		The manuscript has been translated several times, but the best for the average reader is John Wilkinson, Egeria's Travels: newly translated, 1999 with supporting documents and notes.

	Egeria
		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).
		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.
		Dietz describes what is currently known (and conjectured) of Egeria, and presents her not as a conventional pilgrim but as an independent "religious traveler." Quoted passages are given in Dietz' translation, with the original Latin in the notes.

		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.
		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.
		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.

		The Dismissal as Egeria refers to it is the prayer of blessing over the people, prayed by the priest at the end of a liturgical service.
		In Egeria's time the term dismissal is coming to refer to the entire service; this is the origin of the later Latin word missa [Mass] i.e.

		Though the text is incomplete, Egeria's Diary is the first written text to describe the dramatic imitation of Christ's entry into Jerusalem.
		Hers is the earliest recording of the order of worship that was to become one of the church of Jerusalem's most significant contributions to the liturgy for the Roman Catholic Church.
		Her reason for writing was to convey the deeper spiritual understanding she had gained as a result of worshiping with believers in Jerusalem and communities along the way, as well as walking where Jesus had walked.

		women's participation as members of the congregation is taken for granted; Egeria's distinctions are between "celebrants" and "people," though elsewhere she specifies that the laity includes both men and women (viri aut mulieres).

		In the meanwhile we came on foot to a certain place where the mountains, through which we were journeying, opened out and formed an infinitely great valley, quite flat and extraordinarily beautiful, and across the valley appeared Sinai, the holy mountain of God.
		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.
		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.
