Abstract

Grundetjern has participated for two consecutive summers in a pilgrimage from Hovden, a well-known ski resort in Norway, to a famous stave church in Røldal. This is a march in the mountains, 75 kilometers long. The pilgrimage takes four days, and the nights are spent in simple cabins. In addition to semi-structured interviews with participants, informal talks along the track and shared bodily experiences with the participants were important sources for the research. The pilgrimage is organized by the Church of Norway, but open to all, and the participants had varying world-views and different attitudes towards Christianity. Physical hardships created a close fellowship, and spontaneous rituals occurred, such as throwing stones in a river as a symbol of leaving old problems behind. Nature itself was an important source of experience, and the intensity of the spiritual experience varied from person to person, not necessarily following doctrinal boundaries. The authors see the increasing popularity of pilgrimages as part of a change in current religious life with more weight on experiences and less on doctrinal teachings.
