1. And you thought Pilgrims were just for last Thursday!

2.  You believe the end of the world is coming. Why are you afraid?  When you realize the world isn’t ending you become a pilgrim. What does that mean and why do you do it?

4.  Ever since Charlemagne came on the scene, in Western Europe, there was a harkening back to the classical. Although not totally overt in the illuminated manuscripts, there are signs.  Because of an increase in trade and commerce, building increased.  In Romanesque architecture, we see an intense use of round arches as well as barrel and groin vaults.

5.  Ambulatory – major innovation  Radiating chapels  Portal (Tympanum)  Nave, transept, and side aisles  Cruciform (overall shape of building)  Crossing square  Bays (3-D modules of nave and side aisles)  Gallery/ tribune level  Clerestory (usually small in Romanesque churches)  Barrel vault (the norm for Romanesque naves)  Groin vault (less common, used more in side aisles)  Cloister (element in a monastic abbey church) 5

7.  Relics are not new to our study of Art History. We discussed relics at the Great Stupa at Sanchi and the Basilica San Marco.  In Romanesque times, pilgrims visited churches that housed relics of important Christian figures– mostly pieces of saints’ bodies or clothing.  Why would a sacred space housing a relic be even more sacred?
