The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

© 2023, Springer Nature Switzerland AG.Sacred practices connected to the celebration of Saint George take place on the Island of Prinkipos (Büyükada), the largest of the so-called Princes’ Islands in the Sea Marmaras and is included in the urban context of Istanbul. A close examination of the pilgrimage to the monastery of St. George Koudounas on the day of Saint George’s commemoration (23rd April) provides insights into its importance as a liminal place in topography and a place that reflects the negotiation with important urban geopolitical boundaries.
