  Abstract:  This paper intends to deal with the manner in which a religious institution, the Romanian Orthodox Church, uses pilgrimage as an instrument for approaching global and local contexts characterized by fluidity, loss of meaning and continuous transformations regarding authority, with consequences in the religious field. Focusing on the case of the Romanian Orthodox Metropolis for Western and Southern Europe, the study uses discourse analysis in order to show how pilgrimage is shaped and absorbed into the religious institution’s “politics of survival” after 1989.

Keywords: pilgrimage, relics, ecumenism, religious institution, Romanian Orthodox Metropolis for Western and Southern Europe.
