El culte a la Santa Creu al monestir de Sant Pere de Rodes

The pilgrimage held in the honour of the Holy Cross at Sant Pere de Rodes is the highest expression of that particular devotion since the Middle Ages. The origin of that pilgrimage has been traditionally associated to a bull issued by the pope Urban II in 1090. Nevertheless, the most recent researches have questioned this bull, which is now suspected to be a spurious document. Beyond this uncertainty, the contents of this paper are focused in the identification of a very particular scenery of devotion to the Holy Cross at Sant Pere de Rodes. In addition, other local celebrations in relation to the Holy Cross and the Holy Sepulchre throughout the last quarter of the 11th century will be considered.
