Explain how taking part in the activities you have chosen would affect a christian in their day to day life. How do christians differ in their attitudes towards pilgrimage.
Christians see a pilgrimage as an important part of their spiritual discipline. They visit the scenes of events that are part of their spiritual life. Christians may feel deep satisfaction that they have been able to visit and worship in holy places. People see prayer as a way of approaching God; Some Christians use another method of praying. Rosary is a method of prayer used to remember the mysteries on events on the lives of Jesus and Mary at pilgrimages such as Lourdes.
Some sites of pilgrimage, such as Lourdes in France, have a history for healing. The ‘Holy Water’ is said to bring healing to all those who bath in it, whether it be emotional or physical. On a daily basis, people would go to a mass to hear the word of their God and see many of the attraction of Lourdes. People are said to come back with better emotional experience and creates more awareness in the person’s faith. A sick person should leave Lourdes with a feeling of peace and strength from God. People who bath at Lourdes have experienced religious healings rather than just physical illnesses. People have gone to Lourdes knowing that this is their last hope of a cure, and people whom have not been so lucky, can now accept their illness. Christians can carry on with the rest of their life knowing that death will come one day. This deepens the person’s relationship with god.
