A Pilgrim’s Gestures. Based on Journey to the East of Alphonse de Lamartine

Summary/Abstract: The main goal of this article is an analysis of pilgrim’s experience and attitudes during the religious journey to the Holy Land in 1832. Pilgrim, whose experiences have been analyzed, is a famous French poet, historian and politician of the nineteenth century – Alphonse de Lamartine. The study used a category of gesture. Category of gesture allowed to examine the nature of man's relationship with God and perception of God by man. Analysis of the phenomenon of the pilgrimage as a gesture helped distinguish five categories of pilgrimages (pilgrimage as a gesture of Thomas, Job, scholar, orant, child). By using category of gesture, one can characterize possible differences during a pilgrimage and describe the different types of pilgrimage.
