Attend a conference on pilgrimage routes through the Haute-Marne
Attend a conference by Alain Catherinet and discover the rich traditions of pilgrimages in Haute-Marne. Explore the great diversity of paths through the department, as well as the many hospices and hospitals along the way, often missing today, which make the study of pilgrimages in Haute-Marne particularly fascinating. This region, crossed by several pilgrimage corridors, is home to prestigious local places of worship. From the first centuries of Christianity, the faithful hurried to the great places of Christianity such as Jerusalem and Rome, then, in the Carolingian era, to Saint-Martin-de-Tours and Saint-Jacques-de-Compostelle. At the beginning of the second millennium, pilgrimages to the bodies of the first martyrs at Autun, Saulieu, Dijon, Alise-Sainte-Reine, Auxerre and Blécourt multiplied. After a period of insecurity on the roads, the fervour of pilgrimages resumed after the Hundred Years War, this time to closer destinations, such as Saint-Urbain, Presles, Parnot, Orges, Saint-Menge to Lannes, Méchinex to Treix, Montrot to Arc-en-Barrois, Corgirnon, Parnot, and Sainte-Bologna in Roocourt-la-Côte.
