Al-Andalus Chair : Les saints du Maghreb : confréries, pèlerinages, parrainages et leurs liens avec l'Andalousie

Même si les trois religions of the book As monothéistes, they acquire in the Mediterranean particular characteristics in which transcendent figures act as intermediaries with the divine and celestial beings, through which the spaces and times that make intermingling possible are revealed.

There are many common features in each of the three cultures and, in the case of Spain and Andalusia in particular, the similarities sometimes show a striking resemblance, produced by mutual influences.

Saints, shrines, feasts, festivals and pilgrimages form a geography of events in the Maghreb that fills the year with an incredible variety of liturgies and rituals linked to the personality of the places where they take place. Many of them, like their protagonists, were born in the centuries dominated by Al-Andalus.

The session is led by Antonio Zoido, a graduate in philosophy from the Grégorienne University of Rome and the Complutense University of Madrid. He is also president of the Machado Foundation, member of the board of directors of the FACUA Foundation and director of the magazine Razones de Utopía.
