Abstract

From far away and along with tourism growth in recent decades, domestic and international Pilgrimage travels in Iran has been one of the favorite religious activities. Arba’ een walking Pilgrimage is a recently appeared form of religious travel which was not known to this extent by Iranians. So, empirical research has not been conducted on the subject or at least not published yet. Adopting qualitative approach, 36 male and female pilgrims in the path from Najaf to Karbala were interviewed to explore their perception and lived experience of this travel. By analyzing the qualitative data, three main theme were identified: (1) The experience of materiality suspension, (2) The sacred suffering as meaning-maker, (3) The emotional stimulation of the communal Pilgrimage ritual. These main themes includes six sub-themes: suspending instrumental rationality, suspending social classification, perception of the sacred supernatural power, expectation for reward, the sense of belonging to the religious community by simulating a suffering historical experience, and declaring belief and commitment in religion practically through simulating a suffering historical experience. The subtheme of suspending instrumental rationality itself includes two items: devolved liberty and reinterpretation of security.
