The Ps 74(73):12 inspired a series of exegetical, theological and geographical speculations in the early Christian writers. The various references in the reflections concerning the Ps 74(73) suggest that this verse played not indifferent role in the ancient Christian exegesis. The Fathers of the Church gave this psalmic verse the soteriological value. Subsequently, the topographic reading was instead profiled. “In the midst of the earth” indicated the Holy Land as a place for the fulfillment of God’s saving work and it became the center of the world. In the Christianity the Holy City never lost its real reference and signification. On a biblical and theological basis the city of Jerusalem was considered the „navel of the earth”. In the collective imagination of Christian pilgrims the place of Golgotha (Calvary) was identified with the middle of the earth. In the various ancient descriptions, the Holy Land was treated as a very special, even unique, geographical-historical object.
