Pilgrimage and Sacred Space

Christian sacred spaces Meeting/worship spaces Synagogues (until 70-135 CE) House churches (1st-3rd centuries) Basilicas devoted as churches Architectural style Originally used as “town halls” Became a religious type of architecture Tombs of martyrs Sites in Holy Land

Constantine Turning point in Christianity “Converts” ca. 313 Vision of cross in battle Baptized near death Legalized practice of Christianity Devoted resources to building projects Used authority to promote doctrinal councils Mother Helena led “reclamation” of Holy Land sites

4th century churches Strategy: build on top of pagan shrines Symbol of Christian replacement of paganism Convert old religious practices to new ones Example: Christmas on Dec 25 Keep old piety but Christianize it New legal status = new needs and resources ($) Dominant style: basilica (secular hall) Entrance = “narthex” Long main hall = “nave” 2 side aisles Apse
