For five consecutive years Dublin-based photojournalists Tomasz
Bereska and Tomasz Szustek have travelled to Croagh Patrick on Reek
Sunday to take photographic portraits of some of the 20,000+
pilgrims who climb the 'Holy Mountain', focusing on the incredible
diversity and different backgrounds of the participants. In
Atlantic Tabor they present 60 stunning colour portraits of the
pilgrims, plus an additional 60 atmospheric B&W photos that add
to the story. To complement the beautiful images, the photographers
invited Dr Patrick Claffey, Adjunct Assistant Professor at the
Department for Study of Religions and Theology at Trinity College
Dublin to contribute to the project. Dr Claffey provides a
brilliant analysis of pilgrimage phenomena in general terms
worldwide, as well as more detailed exploration of Croagh Patrick
in particular. He explains how pilgrimages were once primarily
sacred but increasingly have become secular; he lists many of the
holy mountains of the world and their associated pilgrimages; he
describes the myths, prehistory and early history associated with
Croagh Patrick; he defines the role 'the Reek' has played over the
centuries in Connaught Catholicism; and he shows in detail the
various paths one can take to climb Croagh Patrick and what to
expect at the summit.
