Pilgrimages in the media age

Last week hundreds of thousands of pilgrims, celebrities and politicians gathered in the Cathedral of Iasi to commemorate Saint Parascheva, whose mortal remains are said to rest there. Mircea Kivu criticises the live coverage of the pilgrimage: "Religious ceremonies lose their sacred character through excessive media coverage; they become increasingly profane. People use the opportunity to take photos of themselves with celebrities and then hang the photos next to the icons. ... Without doubt, among the hundreds of thousands of pilgrims there are those who revere church relics like the remains of Saint Parascheva in the middle of the night with genuine humility. But it's becoming increasingly common to hear pilgrims talk before a live camera of their hopes that God will repay their efforts by healing their illnesses or relieving their poverty. ... People no longer pray - they demand."
