In the eighties a growing interest for popular religious phenomena like pilgrimage was noticeable. This article is aimed at the theological valuation of pilgrimage. This is done by means of the results of an empirical research carried out on Dutch pilgrims visiting Lourdes. The research shows that the pilgrims are close to the church and to religion. The motives to go on a pilgrimage differ for older and younger pilgrims. The elders go on the basis of especially religious motives (seeking help and support and a deepening of faith). The youths go on the basis of especially recreative motive and to meet other pilgrims. The effects are equal for both groups. The physical well-being does not improve, but the psychological well-being does show a slight improvement.

Illness is a bio-psycho-social-spiritual process. Physicians focus primarily on the physical level; but attention to the other levels — including the religious/spiritual level — is recommended. Research, predominantly conducted in the USA , indicates that the worldview of physicians determines their attentiveness to their patient’s religiosity/spirituality. This study investigates medical specialists in academic hospitals in the Netherlands. The study participants were 664 medical specialists from five Dutch academic hospitals. In the more secularised Netherlands, attention to the spiritual level also includes attention to meaningfulness, and related questions of meaning. Our research attempted to show the influence of the worldview of these specialists on their attention to the religiosity/spirituality of and questions of meaning raised by very ill patients. Religiosity/spirituality was operationalised in religious/spiritual coping activities. Meaning questions were measured by a self-constructed instrument. We found four clusters of relevant meaning questions: ‘end of life’, ‘God’, ‘attributions’ and ‘relationship with significant others’. Attentiveness to religious/spiritual coping was influenced by the salience of a worldview in the life of the medical specialists. No such influence was detected with regard to questions of meaning.

In einer Zeit, in der sich der Einflufl institutionalisierter Religionen auf das alltagliche Leben verringert, ist ein lebendiges, bisweilen sogar wachsendes Interesse f3r das Phanomen der Wallfahrt zu beobachten (Bax, 1984; Scharfe, Schmolze und Schubert, 1985; Guth, 1986). Lourdes, mit ungefahr funf Millionen Besuchern im Jahr, liegt quantitativ gesehen an der Spitze des Interesses, aber auch kleinere Wallfahrtsorte werden zum Anziehungspunkt f3r viele Menschen.
