Image and Pilgrimage Post 1

Pilgrimage creates a sense of accomplishment, but also brings new depth to a person's being. When Kenosis is discussed, a sense of communitas is also founded on long journeys even ones of salvation. Communitas can be considered what detaches a pilgrim from original social structure and what creates a new equal structure or home. In my opinion,  communitas creates a sense of home. For example, on trails such as the Appalachian Trail, hikers are diverse people who form a new kind of family relationship through experiencing the same struggles and bliss. Thus, communitas is in a sense the creation of a new family, home, structure while on spiritual journeys.
