Document Details : Title: Syrian Orthodox Attitudes to the Pilgrimage to Jerusalem Author(s): TEULE, Herman Journal: Eastern Christian Art Volume: 2 Date: 2005 Pages: 121-125 DOI: 10.2143/ECA.2.0.2004554 Abstract : In the interesting and well documented study on the history of the monasteries and churches of Mardin and surroundings published by the Syrian Orthodox priest, Gabriyel Akyüz, one finds a picture of a proskynetarion, which some pious Syrian Orthodox pilgrims had brought to their home city as a souvenir of their pilgrimage to Jerusalem. This proskynetarion now hangs on the wall of the venerable Church of Mart Smuni in the outskirts of Mardin. Like the Christians of the other oriental and Eastern churches, the Syrian Orthodox were great supporters of a pilgrimage to the Holy City. |
