Cult of Carts is a term coined by the architectural historian Arthur Kingsley Porter A. K. Porter to describe various occasions in western Europe during the 12th and 13th centuries, when ordinary laity lay people harnessed themselves to carts in the place of oxen in order to transport building materials to cathedral building sites. ref Arthur Kingsley Porter Medieval Architecture, Vol.2 , New York, 1909, pp. 150 60 ref Precursors to the Cults of Carts Throughout European history there have been several documentary accounts of occasions when the public spontaneously came together to labour on some important building project the earliest being Suetonius account of the rebuilding of the Temple of Jupiter Optimus Maximus in Rome after a fire in AD 70 . In medieval Europe, perhaps the most widely known and influential of these events occurred during the building of the Benedictine Abbey at Montecassino Italy in 1066. The Abbey s chronicler, Peter the Deacon , described how a crowd of pious lay people spontaneously seized some heavy marble columns which had been delivered from Rome and carried them up the long steep hill to the building site, singing and praying as they went.
