The Pilgrims' Words, and Ilse's Questions <br data-start="78" data-end="81">After completing their journey, the pilgrims speak to Princess Ilse of the memories of their spiritual journey. Memories of the soil of the holy land they trod on in search of God's footprints, of the tears and faith they shed there. Ilse listens to their stories, and then quietly asks a question. She tries to visualize a "map of pain" through which they passed on the path of suffering and prayer.


Work Description

In this spread, the story enters a flashback told by the pilgrim, revealing the essence of the spiritual journey. On page 87, angels, symbols of resurrection, are lined up in the sky as decoration, and at the bottom is a statue of a goddess with outstretched wings and a morning glow, visually emphasizing the sacredness of the pilgrimage and the image of sunrise = rebirth.

In the story, the pilgrims recount their journeys through harsh landscapes, kneeling at the sacred site where Jesus Christ was buried, praying where Mary's tears fell, and searching for the Lord's footsteps. On page 88, wild roses frame the page, symbolizing purity and devotion in the midst of suffering.
The pilgrims speak of their determination to leave their homes for their duty and faith, even while remaining close to their loved ones, and of the pain and prayers they felt in the land they walked. Ilse is deeply touched by their stories and tries to imagine the "landscape of suffering" they walked through. In these pages, her spiritual growth and awakening to faith gently lead her to the heart of the story.

This work is included in the lavishly illustrated book "Ilse of Tripoli," published in German in 1901.
