The Holy Shroud and the Holy House of Loreto-The Passage to Athens

publication date29 September 2019 publication Hephaestus Editions


Description


The study, developed in three parts, starting precisely from the "Nazareth corridor," is a contribution aimed at attempting to formulate hypotheses concerning the place that may have housed, albeit briefly, first the Shroud and, subsequently or simultaneously, the holy house of the Theotokos. The present research aims to reconstruct the ancient "Way of the Angels," set between the Duchy of Athens, Thessaly and Epirus, one of the four itineraries-the third,in chronological order-followed by the translation of the holy house before its arrival in Loreto. It also aims to provide information on the discussed passage of the Shroud to Athens, highlighting the fundamental elements that the two relics (the Shroud and the holy house of Loreto) have in common. The study provides new terms of evaluation in order to foster reflection and reconstruction of possible gaps in history, learn about the ancient fortresses of Thessaly, through the analysis and interpretation of the very ancient symbols found in Byzantine monasteries and churches of the 12th and 13th centuries, milestones in the epic of the imperial Comnenus family and, later, of the Angelo Ducas Comnenus.

This book of poems is dedicated to the joy and extraordinary ancient beauty of the Mediterranean peoples-our parents-who in the beginning shared a profoundly ethical, philosophical and cultural thinking, the mark of a very ancient civilization built by a myriad of historical figures. But fortunately there are also people today who want to savor intensely every moment of their lives, women and men, who are in their context just as unique and who nevertheless remain, for better or worse, consciously indelible in the eternal memory of our souls. This book is also dedicated to them.
