A Pilgrim School

I'm planning to do my graduate coursework while walking this pilgrimage over the summer.  My professor is developing a lesson plan through which I will study the lesser saints who have relics in the churches along the way.  The collection of relics or the bones of saints was a big tourist attraction from the 11th to the 14th centuries.  Monks even went to other churches to "collect" the bones of a favored saint. This improved the attraction of their own monastery in the pilgrimage trail.  Additionally, the representations of pilgrims among saints is prominent in many romanesque designs.  I am enthusiastic about this project and looking forward to fleshing out, as it were, the details of this project.  It is what can be termed "original" research and as such is important to my degree program.  Plus I get to take photos and incorporate them in the project.  This will be fun!
