Sacred Materialities. The Apostle Thomas between Ortona and Rome
Katharina Christa Schüppel
The Via Tiburtina and its eastern extensions connect two places of fundamental significance for the medieval and post-medieval cult of the apostle Thomas in Europe: Ortona and Rome. The contribution focuses on how the emergence of both sites established a new material foundation for the cult of the Apostle Thomas in Europe, and on the objects, persons and practices related to this place-making process – like hiking on the newly designed Cammino di San Tommaso in the footsteps of St. Birgitta of Sweden.
La Via Tiburtina e i suoi prolungamenti orientali collegano due luoghi di fondamentale importanza per il culto medievale e post-medievale dell’apostolo Tommaso in Europa: Ortona e Roma. L’articolo analizza l’emergere dei due culti locali e le persone, gli oggetti e le pratiche in essi coinvolti.
