Pilgrimages in the documents and the liturgy of the church

Summary/Abstract: The theme of the article is the “presence” of pilgrimages in the documents and the liturgy of the Church. To explore this issue, the missals were examined and it has been found that there is no form of piety in them. We therefore focused on the rite of the liturgy for special groups. There was a review of other documents of the Church: The Catechism of the Catholic Church, exhortations and apostolic letters. According to them, the choice of the Eucharist or other church services depends on the priest. The rituals of these services are presented in the Directory on Popular Piety and the Liturgy, the Book of Blessings adapted to the customs of the Polish dioceses, in the Family ritual and Liturgical agendas. The devotions proposed by agendas were compared by taking into account local customs and special circumstances of pilgrimages. The reference was made to the laws, practical guidelines and advice for pilgrims, provided by the rectors of sanctuaries, and even the Holy See. It has been concluded that all the gathered material concerning pilgrimages in the documents and the liturgy of the Church is skimpy and insufficient.
