One is a long tradition of visions of mysterious wayfarers in rural Spain who bring otherworldly news and help, including recent examples. Another treats the seeming vivification of religious images?statues, paintings, engravings, and photographs apparently exuding blood, sweat and tears in Spanish homes and churches  in the early modern period and the revival of the phenomenon throughout Europe in the twentieth century.  Of special interest is the third strand of the book: the transposition of medieval and early modern representations of the relations between humans and the divine into the modern art of photography. Christian presents a pictorial examination of the phenomenon with a large number of religious images, commercial postcards and family photographs from the first half of past century Europe. 410 0$aNatalie Zemon Davis annual lecture series. 606 $aSpirituality$zSpain 606 $aSpirituality$zEurope, Western 607 $aSpain$xChurch history 607 $aEurope, Western$xChurch history 615 0$aSpirituality 615 0$aSpirituality 676 $a274.6 700 $aChristian$b William A.$f1944-$0159227 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910141335503321 996 $aDivine presence in Spain and Western Europe, 1500-1960$94200621 997 $aUNINA
