Symbols and images help to embody a pilgrimage
experience, as stated in Image and Pilgrimage.
It is these symbols that bring new people on the pilgrimage and continue
it on. Things like shrines can have a
great impact on pilgrimages because it is a marker of accomplishment and
traveling down a path that was carved out a long time ago. Having a sense of carrying on a legacy or a
pilgrimage from the past can make the experience even stronger. It can probably even cause the pilgrim to go
on completely new pilgrimages as well. I
never really knew how important shrines and symbols and pictures embodying pilgrimage
can be. It is why many are still going
on today.
