Pilgrimage in Christian Culture #1


December 4, 2015

While reading through Image and pilgrimage in Christian culture by Victor Turner and Edith Turner I came across the following quote, “As all know, every symbol has a signifier and a signified. The personifying is the sensorily perceptible vehicle of a conception. The personifying process here involves a changing relation between signifier and signified.” (143). As the symbol is as important to the signifier, the signifier is equally important to the symbol. Without the other neither would be recognized and lost in both writing and nature. It explains the operation from in how an idea is created from a conception.
