View through CrossRef
This chapter recounts Abbot Haimo's vivid description of miracles at Saint-Pierre-sur-Dives in twelfth-century Normandy during a period of political turmoil. Haimo details the “cult of carts,” a penitential practice where nobles and commoners haul building materials for church restoration, fostering silent devotion and repentance. Participants experience profound miracles, including healings of paralysis, blindness, and muteness, which Haimo attributes to divine intervention through the Virgin Mary. The chapter emphasizes the transformative power of this practice, uniting people in faith and catalyzing spiritual renewal. Finally, the chapter situates these events within broader medieval religious practices, highlighting their singularity and enduring spiritual legacy in Normandy.
