Pilgrimage sites in the early Ottoman state: the problem of interrelation of Islam and Christianity

1. The conquest of Asia Minor by the Muslim Seljuqid dynasty in the eleventh century and the emergence of Turkic principalities here in the thirteenth century, which were formed after the Mongol invasion to Asia Minor, contributed to the creation in this region of a special type of religious culture in which Islam and Christianity not only co-existed, but influenced each other greatly.
2. The main channel of the considerable religious and cultural interrelation, which took place in this region, were Sufi orders (tariqat) and Sufi teachings which embraced numerous elements of ancient cults, mythology, and popular beliefs characteristic of Asia Minor.
3. The saintworship, as well as pilgrimage to the saints shrines, occupied a significant place in this Muslim-Christian symbiosis. Derivated from the ancestors cult, the pilgrimage to the tombs of saints was greatly developed by the Muslims who had elaborated, within Sufi teachings, the whole doctrine of saintship and its miraculous effect on the lives of the true believers.
4. Despite the phenomenon has been vastly elucidated by many Islamicists, saintworship and pilgrimage to saints tombs, being regarded from the historical viewpoint, namely, in the connection with the early history of the Ottoman state, enable the scholar to reveal not only the substratum components of the tradition of saintworship, but also the concrete forms and contents of this religious practice in the epoch of most close interrelation of Islam and Christianity in the Ottoman lands of Asia Minor.
