Sacred Roads: Adventures from the Pilgrimage Trail: Adventure from the Pilgrimage Trail - Hardcover
In this richly detailed and absorbing book, Nicholas Shrady travels to six famous pilgrimage sites, investigating not only the phenomenon of pilgrimage itself but also the enduring vitality of the spiritual quest. From Santiago de Compostela to Varanasi, Medjugorje to the Tomb of Rami, Jerusalem to the Sacred Buddhist Trail of India and Nepal, the author explores the architectural, cultural and religious nature of each site, and by extension uncovers the common threads between them. Maintainingan open, but always critical and questioning attitude towards all forms of faith, SACRED ROADS combines exciting anecdote and adventure with a unique window onto the current state of the world's great religions.

Synopsis:
This text examines the phenomenon of pilgrimage through a series of six journeys to Jerusalem, Santiago de Compostela, Medjugorje, Varanasi, India, Mecca, and to the revered sites of Northern India. Each of the six pilgramages is in its own way vital to an understanding of the religion which inspired it; there are also common threads between them. In addition to exploring the history, the physical and architectural landscape, the culture, and the peculiar rituals and articles of faith of each pilgrimage, this text also reveals the spirit and emotions which they engender.
About the Author:
Nicholas Shrady has a degree in philosophy from Georgetown University, USA. He has travelled extensively and contributed articles, primarily on cultural affairs, to numerous publications. Since 1984 he has lived in Barcelona and Madrid.
