Resumen
Descripción
La cristianización de los reinos anglosajones fue un proceso complejo, con avances y
retrocesos. Durante el mismo, la Iglesia se vio obligada a elaborar diferentes estrategias
para convertir a las elites y al campesinado dependiente vinculando elementos, sitios
sagrados y prácticas paganas con las cristianas, lo que favoreció la reelaboración
simbólica de las primeras. En este artículo pretendemos analizar las múltiples maneras en
las que el paganismo anglosajón resistió y pervivió a través de las representaciones
artísticas, los ritos, las tradiciones, los objetos y los textos hagiográficos, estos últimos
elaborados para difundir el culto a los santos y atraer tanto donaciones como adeptos a
las diferentes casas monacales que iban poblando aquel paisaje.
The Christianization of the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms was a complex process, with advances and setbacks. During the process, the Church was forced to develop different strategies to convert the elites and the dependent peasantry, by way of linking elements, sacred sites and pagan practices with the Christian ones, which favored the symbolic reworking of these. In this article I intend to analyze the multiple ways in which AngloSaxon paganism resisted and survived through artistic representations, rites, traditions, objects and hagiographic texts, the latter elaborated to spread the cults of the saints and attract both donations and followers of the different monastic houses that were populating that landscape.
