Silver Medal - Pilgrimage to the Holy Land, 1978
Weight: 40 grams of purity: 0.935, diameter: 45 mm
The history of Christian pilgrimage to the Holy Land is almost as long as that of Christianity. A goat is the desire of many Christians to see with their own eyes the environment in which Jesus and the apostles lived and acted. Reading the Bible and the New Testament is also more important for the person who visited the place mentioned.
To the devout Christian, the Land of Israel was the center of the world, and Jerusalem was the center of the Land of Israel. A fine example of this is a map that appears in a woodcut made in Germany in 1581. Three continents appear to be emerging from Jerusalem.
