[QUOTE="nreyn12, post: 122691, member: 3841"] Hi PortlandKa, Such an interesting discussion! I think you are wise to ask the question rather than troll through the forum for previous posts. This way you have the implied permission of the authors to use their responses and stories. Pilgrimage exists in every religious tradition. It might be relevant to your research to explore the core elements of the Hajj of Islam, Shikoku in Japan, Sri Prada in Sri Lanka, the Kumbh Mela in India, and others. Some themes begin to emerge: rituals, difficulty of the task, a standardized wardrobe, a written record of the journey, a significant destination and/or way-points, and a stated intention or purpose for the pilgrimage. I find it interesting that many pilgrimages other than the Camino are not taken alone but rather in groups. I prefer to walk alone, but it is the shared connections with other pilgrims that move my spirit and touch my heart. In this way we come to share the burdens and joys of our journey. What I love the most about the Camino Frances - it's inexplicable - is that somehow it brings out the best in me. It is the perfect venue for kindness, graciousness, tolerance, and generosity.
