Pilgrimage and multi-religious worship

A particularly interesting phenomenon in late antique pilgrimage is the presence of different religious groups at the same pilgrimage site. ¹ Such sacred places visited by pilgrims had an ‘innate’ spiritual power and religiosity indivisible from the place itself. The late antique Near East and Egypt are outstanding areas where this phenomenon can be studied, although it can be observed in other territories and times as well. ²
