The twin concepts of kinship and pilgrimage have deep roots in Protestant culture This cultural anthropological study based in part on the authors own fieldwork argues that in Reformed Protestantism the Catholic custom of making pilgrimages to sacred spots has been replaced by the custom of reunion in which scattered members of a family or group return each year to their place of origin to take part in a quasisacred ritual meal and other ritual activities Neville discusses open air services and kinbased gatherings in the Southern United States and Scotland as examples of symbolic forms that express certain themes in Northern European Protestant culture contrasting these forms with the symbolic social statements in the Roman Catholic liturgical world of medieval Europe and traditional Mediterranean Catholicism According to Neville Protestant rituals of reunion such as family reunion church homecoming cemetery association day camp meeting and denomination conference center are part of an institutionalized pilgrimage complex that comments on Protestant culture and belief while presenting a symbolic inversion of the pilgrimage and the culture of Roman Catholic tradition

The Islands of the Sun and the Moon in Bolivias Lake Titicaca were two of the most sacred locations in the Inca empire A panAndean belief held that they marked the origin place of the Sun and the Moon and pilgrims from across the Inca realm made ritual journeys to the sacred shrines there In this book Brian Bauer and Charles Stanish explore the extent to which this use of the islands as a pilgrimage center during Inca times was founded on and developed from earlier religious traditions of the Lake Titicaca regionDrawing on a systematic archaeological survey and test excavations in the islands as well as data from historical texts and ethnography the authors document a succession of complex polities in the islands from 2000 BC to the time of European contact in the 1530s AD They uncover significant evidence of preInca ritual use of the islands which raises the compelling possibility that the religious significance of the islands is of great antiquity The authors also use these data to address broader anthropological questions on the role of pilgrimage centers in the development of premodern states
