Course Overview

By the fourth century CE, the cult of Christian saints led to the quest for their relics and a deepening split between eastern and western Christianity.  Pilgrims journeyed to Jerusalem, Rome, Santiago de Compostela and Canterbury to venerate the remains of the saints.  Later in the Americas, the tradition continued at the shrines of the Basilica of Guadalupe, Zapopan and the Santuario de Chimayo.   Sumptuous reliquaries, Gothic cathedrals and the santos of New Spain and the Southwest are testimony to the influence of this history on western artistic tradition.
