Notes on the Spatial and Temporal Strategies of Today’s Pentecost Pilgrimage Feasts in Csíksomlyó (Șumuleu Ciuc)

Summary/Abstract: The Pentecost pilgrimage from Șumuleu Ciuc/Csíksomlyó is described in ethnographic literature as a religious ritual drama, including elements of local folk customs. Restarted in 1990, this event presents a radically changed cultural economy: the use of space, time and rituals has been radically modifi ed, the non-religious meanings of the pilgrimage have become more accentuated. Today’s pilgrimages can be understood as spectacular ritual events taking place in space and time, as visual “spectacles”. The study presents the present-day transformation of the spatial and temporal structure of the pilgrimage from the point of a cultural economic approach.
