Pilgrimage is a practice bringing together people motivated by religion, tourism, leisure, or self-development, in what have been termed \u201cpost-secular\u201d forms of pilgrimage and tourism. In 2020 and 2021, restrictions on individual mobility were imposed to contain the spread of the COVID-19 virus. This exploratory study consisted of interviews with 13 pilgrims in Portugal, who went on pilgrimage to F\u00e1tima or Santiago de Compostela in 2021. We argue that dis\/connection by pilgrims is evidence of a post-digital moment. Our analysis shows how pilgrims maintain an ambivalent relationship with mobile media in light of this experience which limits their access to habitual devices, people, and digital services, while opening up for the use of others that facilitate the mobility and the spiritual, affective, and sensorial experience as a pilgrim. However, digital and mobile media are deeply entangled in pilgrims\u2019 relationships with space, time, and others\u2014and thus disconnection is partial and transitional. Moreover, dis\/connection is embodied in pilgriming\u2014for example, in how they choose the mobile media considering the weight and energy, and place it on the body, at the same time that mobile media can also afford disembodiment to the experience of pilgrimage\u2014by alleviating the physical pain of walking, for example. Pilgrims also use the media in ways that blur the distinctions between digital and non-digital in the ways they invest meanings in their practices.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/20501579221151041","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,13]],"date-time":"2023-01-13T01:13:45Z","timestamp":1673572425000},"page":"549-565","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Pilgrimage to F\u00e1tima and Santiago after COVID: Dis\/connection in the post-digital age"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"11","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4069-6212","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ana","family":"Jorge","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Lus\u00f3fona University, Portugal"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_3_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0047287519868314"},{"issue":"1","key":"e_1_3_3_3_1","first-page":"8","article-title":"Holy selfies","volume":"2","author":"Caidi N.","year":"2018","unstructured":"Caidi N., Beazley S., Marquez L.
