Image and Pilgrimage 1- Philip Vivirito


“All sites of pilgrimage have this in common: they are believed to be places where miracles once happened, still happen, and may happen again.” So does this mean that this is a requirement for a place of pilgrimage to be? Also what is defined as a miracle? I do think that this idea of miracles happening at a holy site gives the site its religious identity, but I don’t think this would make or break a site. Also, I like the idea that pilgrimage sites have stuff in common, but also have stuff unique specific to them. The idea of miracles is hard to understand, because has a modern day miracle occurred?
