Another quote I found while going through the book, pilgrimage in Christian culture, that
stuck was me is as follows, “This profundity had marked the pilgrimage
devotions of the High Middle Ages, whose zenith was the thirteenth century. A
balance seems to have been then attained between the normative and the orectic
poles of symbolic meaning; the chaic customs and Christian theological ideas
and imagery inter-resonated.” (Turner pg. 147) This was the time when a normal balance
was found between normal Christian customs and values. Also a time with what
appealed to the public and resonated with people. This transformation of
religion in the High Middle Ages is what seen to us to this day.
