Oriens referred to this devotion in a recent note.
What interests me about the devotion is, first of all, its late medieval roots;
its connection to the Franciscan guardianship of the Holy Land; and its
connection with pilgrimage-crusade spirituality.
I have a photocopy of an interesting journal essay on the subject by P. Amedee
de Zedelgem, O.F.M. (Cap.) 'Apercu historique sur la devotion au chemin de la
croix'--but (stupidly) I've lost the tag originally attached to it that
declared which journal it came from, and when it appeared. Can anyone supply
the complete reference? There is a Latin summary of the article, which is
sandwiched between the end and beginning of two further articles. Both are by
Capuchins; one is written in Italian, the other in Latin. I suspect a Roman
Capuchin journal.
Any ideas?
