| Title | The garden watered by the Virgin Mary: The Marian Landscape of Medieval Hungary (1301-1437) |
| Summary | Marian placemaking, like placemaking in general, is an ornate tapestry that must be woven with multiple differently colored threads. These threads represent the many elements that can be identified in the placemaking process: places, actors, objects, practices, intellectual entities, and time. These elements emerge in the major themes that can be identified in the Marian landscape of Hungary during the periods of Angevin and Luxembourg rule: the re-emphasis on Árpádian traditions connected to the Virgin Mary, influence of foreign Marian devotional trends, impact and spread of mendicant Marian piety as well as piety connected to the Pauline Order, reciprocal interaction between Hungarians and foreign Marian pilgrimage places, and increased expressions of Marian popular devotion. The Angevin and Luxembourg periods were a significant time for the development of the Marian cult in Hungary. It was at this time that the idea of Mary as the patron of Hungary began to develop in earnest. |
