Pilgrimages in patristics: idea of pilgrimages to heavenly homeland
Josip Knežević
Sažetak
In this article the author reflects on the phenomenon of pilgrimage and the very beginnings of pilgrimage, limiting himself to the first five centuries of the early Church. The article is divided into two main parts, which actually make up the title of the paper itself. Thus, the first part will discuss the history of the origin of the pilgrimage - before and after the Edict of Milan. In this part, the author also deals with the relationship between the two episcopal centres, Caesarea and Jerusalem, as well as the first pilgrimage reports and travel connections and distances
that the pilgrimages covered. The second part, which talks about Jerusalem as the heavenly homeland of Christians, deals with topics concerning the attitudes of the Fathers towards Christian pilgrimages, and the development of Christian holy places. The whole is rounded off with the theme of the Church as a pilgrim nation, which will discuss asceticism and hospitality among Christians as the source and fruit of pilgrimage, and the life path of the first Christians.
