| Summary: | "Processional practice of some kind seems to be universal in all cultures - often combining both civic and religious aspects. Processions have fulfilled any number of purposes from housing individuals, marking special occasions like weddings and funerals, welcoming relics, conquerors, and victors, memorializing significant events in the liturgical cycle, praying for protection as in lustrations and rogations and begging for respite from danger as well as staging demonstrations for political and religio-political purposes. The work focuses on the history of Christian outdoor liturgical processing in both East and West. It concludes with the prospects of these processions for the future."--Page 4 of cover |
