Antoine Watteau’s painting, Pilgrimage to Cythera [fig.1], and Francois Boucher’s painting, Cupid a Captive [Fig.2] explain how each of them used different techniques to show their own Rococo style in their own paintings in order to appeal to the

Many pilgrimages test and enhance the faith of each believer, embarking on a once-in-a-lifetime journey enriched with spiritual fulfillment. Pilgrims commonly seek a specific place that is associated with a divinity or other holy personage. One of many pilgrimages is the Hajj, located in Saudi Arabia. It provides Muslims all around the world a sense of spiritual and psychological nourishment. While it encourages social and cultural mixing, as well as interactions between them, each Muslim undertakes

to present kindness and compassion to others. Luke wrote “ be you therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful” which means we should have mercy towards others. We all participate in Works of Mercy, reconciliation, and we all take part in pilgrimage. The works of mercy show kindness, such as feeding the hungry or giving drink to the thirsty. I like to participate in mass by altar serving and if I can’t I do church cantoring. Our school mass does many helpful deeds such as, food drives or clothing

In the General Prologue of Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales, the Host instructs the pilgrims to tell ‘“Tales of best sentence and moost solaas’” (GP 798). In other words, in order to win the contest, the pilgrims must tell stories which both impart serious meaning/wisdom (“sentence”) as well as entertainment (“solaas”).

It is something we must have experienced and continue to experience. To accomplish this we must leave the negative attribute of like fighting and arguing behind. Harris purposed a frame work for formation base on the life of the community of faith of, “prayer (leitourgia), teaching (didache), proclamation(kerygma) and serving (diakonia).” (Page 65, Matthaei)

Canterbury Tales (Chaucer & Canterbury Tales Notes taken in Mr. Dye’s Advanced English 12 class). The Canterbury Tales comes from the Canterbury Pilgrimage, which was a significant part of Christian faith. Pilgrimages helped spread religion and help the pilgrims advance in their spiritually. The main difference between a pilgrimage and a vacation is that pilgrimages are uncomfortable in some way and pursue spiritual or religious growth. The Canterbury Cathedral was a Christian architecture in Kent, England

Throughout this semester we have explored a variety of cultures and the recurring theme of pilgrimages and the storytelling of these pilgrimages. While every journey is not the same, each of the pilgrimages has a lesson that can be learned. Two of the main pilgrimages that we explored were, Homer’s Odyssey, and Dante’s Inferno, both of which have a strong lesson about fate, but explore the topic in very different ways. In Homer’s Odyssey the story starts ten years after the Trojan War, where we

Christian Pilgrimage: A Renewed identity In various stages of a Christian’s life, different levels of transformation occur. From physical changes, to emotional growth, and perhaps the most important, is towards a greater spiritual awareness. Though the difficulty of enlightenment is a challenging matter in today’s society due to a self-centric perspective and priority towards social association. People are more occupied with the materialistic world rather than divinity. Thus, the importance of

destinations is the Hajj pilgrimage in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. The reason for people wanting to visit Saudi Arabia is the faith of the domestic tourists, who have a spiritual attachment to the deity/ destination in line with their religious, also foreign tourists, people whom belong to a different religion, region or country, wanting a spiritual experience different from their own, despite the ethical values being delivered remain the same. 2.
