Abstract EN:
Within the framework of alsatian pilgrimages, we have undertaken the study of the evolution of a religious sensitivity, based on various documents. Votive pictures, books of miracles and registers of prayers witness to the processes of pilgrims during more than a century. A more precise analysis of the votive pictures enables us to bring to light, throughout the centuries, the differences which are indicative of the shades of religious sensitivity. Thanks to the book of miracles, we can pick out the main features of the votive processes and obtain sociographic information about the pilgrims themselves. The registers of prayers, on the other hand, reflect what the faithful today are concerned about. One of the original features of this work lies in the fact that the various people, who played a part in the carrying out of the votive process, were called upon to give their account : the donor, the artist who made the votive picture, as well as the priest who took action during that process. We also took an interest in the place held by the votive picture in the pastoral care of thierenbach. . .
Abstract FR:
Dans le cadre bien precis de pelerinages alsaciens, nous avons entrepris d'etudier l'evolution d'une sensibilite religieuse a partir de differents documents. Tableaux votifs, livres de miracles et cahiers d'intentions de prieres temoignent d'une demarche de pelerins, effectuee a travers plus d'un siecle. Une analyse plus precise du contenu pictural des ex-voto nous permet de faire apparaitre des differences significatives a travers. Les siecles quant a la tonalite de la sensibilite religieuse. L'etude du livre des miracles permet de mieux caracteriser la demarche votive et donne des indications sociographiques relatives a la population pelerins. Celle des cahiers d'intentions de prieres est davantage le miroir des preoccupations des fideles d'aujourd'hui. Une des originalites de ce travail reside dans le fait que nous avons pu etre a l'ecoute des differents temoins ayant eu un role dans l'accomplissement de la demarche votive: le donateur, l'artiste qui a realise le tableau votif, ainsi que le pretre qui est intervenu au cours de cette demarche. Nous nous sommes interesses par ailleurs a la place qu'occupe l'ex-voto dans la pastorale de thierenbach. . .
