Neil MacGregor continues the omnibus editions of his series on the expression of shared beliefs in communities around the world and across time. In this programme he considers the importance that religious traditions attach to public rituals - where members of the community are both participants and spectators, helping to create spiritual and social cohesion. He explore the journeys of pilgrims, the ritual acts of offerings and sacrifice, and the creation of sacred buildings - through which societies articulate a view of the proper ordering of the world.
