The Written Accounts by Etheria and the Pilgrim of Piacenza (4th and 6th Centuries)From the end of the 4th century, both in the East and the West, narratives linking saints to sweet aromas abounded. In this context the question arises whether, at a time when the first accounts of pilgrimages to the Holy Land were circulating, the holy sites par excellence were not also linked to extraordinary aromas, Christ literally being the “Anointed/Perfumed One”. This study therefore aims to examine the olfactory aspect –miraculous or not – of pilgrimages to the Holy Land by studying two of the earliest surviving accounts by Western pilgrims : The Pilgrimage of Etheria and the Pilgrim of Piacenza’s Itinerary. Although the holy sites presented pilgrims with all kinds of aromas, it appears from these texts that the possibility of sensing miraculous perfumes would have been prohibited by the very nature of these sites, as well as by the “aroma of saintliness” recorded in contemporary hagiographic texts.Cairn free access
