PILGRIMAGE - HOLY LAND
1978, State Medal
Silver 935, Weight: 40gr. Diameter: 45mm. Mintage: 4976.
The original cardboard box is included
Christian pilgrimage to the Holy Land is as old as Christianity itself. Strong is the desire of many Christians to behold with their own eyes the surroundings where Jesus and the apostles were born and where they preached. Reading the Bible becomes more meaningful to a person who has visited the places mentioned therein. In the view of pious Christians, the Holy Land is the center of the world and Jerusalem the center of the Holy Land.
This outstandingly attractive medal depicts on its obverse one of the most famous, eccentric, but also beautiful world maps ever made, "Die gantze Welt in ein Kleberblat" (The entire World in a Clover Leaf) by Heinrich B?nting, dating from 1581. The German map shows the three continents Europe, Asia and Africa as clover leaves ("America Die neue Welt" - America the new World - is depicted bottom left), with Jerusalem placed at the center of the world.
On the reverse appears the biblical verse "They all gather and come to you" (Isaiah 60:4).
