Yes, Jan, that’s it.I'm not getting anything at that link! Is this the article you read?
Yes, Jan, that’s it.
I routed my links via Tinyurl to keep the preview images from besmirching the forums.
The descriptions are the best.Here you go!
BahahahahahThe descriptions are the best.
Today I learned that medieval pilgrims wore pilgrim badges, not unlike the souvenir pins worn by pilgrims today. “They were cheap, mass-produced, items, and they could have been used as presents from someone on his or her return from a pilgrimage, or ways of signalling one’s political allegiance.”
If that wasn’t interesting enough, I also learned that some of them were quite naughty!
I’ll post a link in the comments. Don’t click if you have delicate sensibilities. You’ve been warned!
Good one, Trecile! I agree!I'm glad that we now havesymbols, and don't have to depict anatomy.
Yes. There were fewer bridges and zero sharpie markers, but close parallels can be drawn to most aspects of Medieval and modern pilgrims and pilgrimage.Not having studied Medieval pilgrimages much, were the pilgrimages then known to have a lot of "relations" taking place?
Of course I had to look....... should post do not open this at work
This is the place to go for an improved vocabulary!
... medieval ampullae too -- small metal or clay containers with images on them & filled with oil or holy water ...
Yep, that picture would certainly send you down down that rabbit hole for sure!
Oh those cursed sharpie's. The weapon of choice of the trash bin poets and wannabe philosophers on the Camino.Yes. There were fewer bridges and zero sharpie markers, but close parallels can be drawn to most aspects of Medieval and modern pilgrims and pilgrimage.
That’s this whole thread! I put a big warning at the top.Of course I had to look....... should post do not open this at work
From now on I’ll think of this whenever I see a royal wearing a “fascinator”!Why so many badges may have had "winged things"
Those warnings only serve to get our curiosity up to peek, not less! I once posted "For ladies' only!" It went kind of viral for awhile and I think men were taking some looks at it, too!That’s this whole thread! I put a big warning at the top.
The "naughty" pilgrim badges are not porn in the modern sense. As far as I can tell, nobody knows what their purpose is although there's lots of speculation of course. Popular interpretations are that they served as some sort of amulet or they served as parody or satire and making fun of religion / clergy / religious rituals. Unlike traditional pilgrim badges, the "naughty" ones date mainly from the later Middle Ages when criticism of this kind was not unknown of (think Reformation).Not having studied Medieval pilgrimages much, were the pilgrimages then known to have a lot of "relations" taking place?
