Holy City, Holy War: Devotion to the Sacred in Crusader Jerusalem

Bearers of the Cross: Material Religion in the Crusading World, 1095–c.1300 is a collaborative project between the University of Birmingham and the Museum of the Order of St John funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council. Exploring the devotional worlds of medieval crusaders, researchers have examined texts, images and objects, studying the ritual practices crusaders observed, the religious artefacts they treasured, and the sacred spaces they shaped and were shaped by. Central to this work has been a fresh examination of the medieval collections of the Museum of the Order of St John. This exhibition presents some of the highlights from the Museum’s medieval and post-medieval collections and introduces some of the themes that have been at the heart of the project’s research. To find out more about the project, the exhibition, and the Museum’s medieval collections, please visit www.bearersofthecross.org.uk and follow @CrusaderMatter on Twitter.
