Hunter Bronder: Images and Pilgrimage - rituals


In Images and Pilgrimage in Christian Culture, the author shares parts of a ritual that are preformed at a certain rock. Having been part of something where rituals were preformed, I found it weird that they would share parts of the ritual. Usually when a ritual is preformed, it is secret or special to the person or group performing it. Rituals are important to making a place sacred. This made me wonder if a place is considered sacred then how sure are people that it was made extraordinary by ritual. Do people that make places sacred ever share the ritual preformed or is it just in certain cases where ritual cannot be shared.
