Together, they formed a network comprising new forms of sacredness and spiritual practice. A masterwork in the history of Christianity, \u003ci\u003eShrines, Relics, and Saints\u003c\/i\u003e traces pilgrimage routes to major sanctuaries, follows saints' relics as they were transferred from East to West, and examines the Church's ambiguous and sometimes antagonistic relationship to sites of popular worship.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e André Vauchez\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1501776703\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781501776700\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cornell University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/15\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 294\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.81d","brand":"André Vauchez","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48153710395647,"sku":"9781501776700","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6ba8b761-0b86-4955-95fe-4c15cea853c2.jpg?v=1770785310","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/shrines-relics-and-saints-andrzs-vauchez-9781501776700","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
