Religious and social determinants of pilgrimage

Jakov Jukić

Sažetak

Pilgrimage is one of the thematic wholes within the phenomenon of folk
religion. To journey towards the sacred or to go on a pilgrimage is in fact the same thing. Therefore it could be said of a pilgrimage that i t is a travel or voyage of an individua l or a group to a sacred place. I t is within this context that we must ask for the reasons of pilgrimage, and in this light that we must see its content as well as its acts and aims. At the end of the paper the author cites some examples of the degeneration and decay of the religious content w ith in the phenomenon of pilgrimage, such as crusades in Christendom and the holy war in Islam.
