| Résumé: | This paper is based on ongoing fieldwork at the Catholic pilgrimage shrine of Our Lady of Fatima in Portugal. It analyzes the ritual creativity and religious critique of the pilgrims, drawing on authors who have emphasized the importance of «lived religion» (e.g. Orsi 2006; McGuire 2008; Ammerman 2013). Focusing on one particular place, the so-called «Well of the Angel», the author explores the tensions that exist between the lived religion of the pilgrims and the Catholic cult promoted by local au-thorities who establish precise places where the devotees should pray, attend mass, or light candles. Analyzing how some pilgrims challenge the sacred topography established by ecclesiastic authorities, the author argues in favor of an ethnographic approach to the study of religion that allows to situate the religious experiences of pilgrims in the context of their life stories and also to capture the ways in which pilgrims creatively adapt their rituals and beliefs according to their personal experiences |
