Abstract
Jerusalem occupied a problematic position during the development of the early Church, and the people who had cried out for Barabbas were not easily forgiven. Jean Boucher first published his Bouquet sacre compose des plus belles fleurs de la Terre sainte in 1614. Boucher's purpose in writing the narrative was multifarious and ambitious. His descriptions of the holy sites of Jerusalem, Bethlehem, and Galilee are breathless and deliberately full of wonder, but he describes each step of the pilgrim's path as beset by hostility from Arabs and Turks. Boucher was more interested in rescuing the real journey of the Holy Land pilgrimage and the Holy Land pilgrimage narrative than he was in rescuing the Holy Land itself. Keywords: Bouquet Sacre ; Church; Holy Land; Jean Boucher; Jerusalem; pilgrimage
