Today’s Final Jeopardy Answer – Wednesday, May 29 2024

The Final Jeopardy Answer is: Canterbury

Final Jeopardy Explanation – Wednesday, May 29 2024

The city in reference for today’s Final Jeopardy is Canterbury, located in Kent, England. Canterbury has been a major focal point of pilgrimage and religious history, notably before and after the new shrine of Thomas Becket was dedicated there on July 7, 1220. Thomas Becket, the Archbishop of Canterbury, was murdered in Canterbury Cathedral in 1170, and his shrine quickly became one of the most important pilgrimage sites in medieval Europe. The dedication of his new shrine in 1220 further solidified the city’s status as a religious center, attracting thousands of pilgrims from across Europe. This influx of visitors boosted local commerce and contributed to Canterbury’s prominence and economic growth during the Middle Ages. Canterbury’s rich history, steeped in religious, cultural, and literary significance—also immortalized by Geoffrey Chaucer in “The Canterbury Tales”—continues to draw visitors and scholars interested in exploring its past.
