Title A name given to the resource Pilgrim Badge: St James of Compostella Subject The topic of the resource Badge, Compostella, material culture, ‘Mainly Medieval’, medieval pilgrimage, NSW, New South Wales, pilgrim, pilgrimage, replica, reproduction, Saint James, scallop shell, shrine, Spain, St James, symbolism, Way of St James Description An account of the resource An advertisement for a scallop shell badge distributed by ‘Mainly Medieval’, an online re-enactor supplies company based in New South Wales. The scallop shell badge signifies that the wearer has completed the lengthy overland pilgrimage known in English as the Way of St James. This pilgrimage, which now starts at Roncesvalles, gradually winds its way to the Cathedral in Compostela, NW Spain. The ninth-century version, however, was considerably shorter due to the Moorish occupation. This early route started at Oviedo, passed through Lugo, and culminated at Santiago de Compostela, covering a distance of 328 km. The church was built at Compostella as a shrine to James, the son of Salome and Zebedee, who died in Jerusalem AD 44 by order of King Agrippa. His body was reputedly rediscovered in 840 by divine revelation to Bishop Theodomirus (See Gertrude Jobes, Dictionary of Mythology Folklore and Symbols, New York, The Scarecrow Press, 1962, vol.2, p.1372). The Vatican ‘officially’ confirmed the location of St James’s relics and tomb via a Papal Bull in 1884, and consequently the Camino de Santiago de Compostela became one of the world’s great long-distance ‘pilgrimages.’ Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Mainly Medieval Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2011 Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource Copyright © 2011 Mainly Medieval Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource Hyperlink Language A language of the resource English ‘Mainly Medieval’ Badge Compostella material culture medieval pilgrimage New South Wales NSW pilgrim pilgrimage replica reproduction Saint James scallop shell shrine Spain St James symbolism Way of St James Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

In purified Christianised logic, the candle is a symbol of ‘devotion,’ and (prayerful) ‘study’ (See Gertrude Jobes, Dictionary of Mythology Folklore and Symbols, New York, The Scarecrow Press, 1962, vol. 1, p.284). The candle also symbolises light and, by extension, Christ. This candleholder is a heavy pewter artefact, designed for maximum stability and utility. It contains a blessing which states, “God bless those present and those that made me”. Candles and candleholders were used in the homes of the wealthy, especially in the libraries of those able to read and write, as well as in monasteries, churches, and universities. It seems unlikely, however, that such an expensive candleholder as this would be found in peasant dwellings, where rushlights and light from the fire would be sufficient to see after dark.

Title A name given to the resource Mainly Medieval replica spoon Subject The topic of the resource acorn, acorn knop, consumption, dining utensils, dining, food, knop, ‘Mainly Medieval’, material culture, medieval eating customs, New South Wales, NSW, pewter, replica, reproduction, spoon, symbolism, utensils Description An account of the resource An advertisement for a replica medieval eating spoon distributed by ‘Mainly Medieval’, an online re-enactor supplies company based in New South Wales. The spoon is made from food grade pewter. It is described by the catalogue as ‘English,’ and of a type and design that was common between the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. At the tip of the handle there is a stylised acorn design, symbolising life, fertility, and strength (See Gertrude Jobes, Dictionary of Mythology Folklore and Symbols, New York, The Scarecrow Press, 1962, vol. 1, p.27). The acorn was also, as the catalogue suggests, regarded as a talisman against cholera and fluxes. These properties likely explain its decorative appeal for dining utensils.

Title A name given to the resource ‘Peasant’; or ‘Pilgrim’ Subject The topic of the resource Adelaide Hills, Camino de Santiago de Compostela, cockleshell, Gumeracha Medieval Fair, medieval costume, neo-medieval, peasant, pilgrim, pilgrimage, re-enactment, reneactment, SA, South Australia Wendi Donaldson Description An account of the resource This photograph was taken at the Gumeracha Medieval Fair, Adelaide Hills, South Australia by photographer Wendi Donaldson (May 2011). The image is entitled ‘Peasant,’ but seeing as the man is wearing a scallop-shell as a badge in his wide-brimmed hat and is carrying a staff with a bevel-top, he is more likely a ‘pilgrim.’ The scallop-shell was worn by those who journeyed to the shrine of St James (aka Santiago de Compostela), in NW Spain (See Dominic Selwood, Knights of the Cloister Woodbridge: Boydell Press, 1999, p.111). This was one of the three main Pilgrimages undertaken by medieval Christians, and it was also reputedly the easiest and safest. It was undoubtedly less expensive (or dangerous) than journeying to the Holy Land. The other two essential pilgrimage routes were the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, Jerusalem, and the shrine of St Peter, Rome. The Gumeracha Medieval Fair is an annual event sponsored by the Adelaide Hills Council. The Fair features a host of re-enactment groups from around the world, including handcraft stallholders, wandering musicians and entertainers, and a whole lot more. This is just one of several interesting medieval events held throughout the country at different times of the year. There is clearly a popular interest in the past, and especially the Middle Ages, as these fairs and festivals (which generally charge an admission fee) imply, and not just in Australia. There are professional re-enactment personnel and entertainers who traverse the globe in a bid to bring the past to life.
