Pilgrimage is one of the earliest forms of travel. Even today, it is subject to constant change. The revival of the Europe-wide network of Camino de Santiago routes and the growing number of pilgrims highlight the current dynamics of pilgrimage. This volume continues the interdisciplinary examination of this multifaceted phenomenon, initiated by the St. James Brotherhood Trier e.V. More than a dozen authors present selected findings on the theme "Pilgrimage in Transition" from various perspectives, appealing to a broad readership. Attention is directed both to the pilgrims and their spiritual guidance, as well as to the paths taken and the services offered. Finally, the transformation of pilgrimage on the Camino de Santiago is illustrated with regional examples from the Eifel-Trier area and from Andalusia.
