Daniel Mejia Communitas in pilgrimage to Mecca

Ive been reading books about the pilgrimage to Mecca and undoubtedly, this long pilgrimage produces communitas. Communitas is a generic bond between individuals that is obtained in the liminal stage of rights of passage. Imagine millions of people gathered in one place for one reason, "the call of God." Prayer is very important for the Islamic culture, and this involves several timed prostrations. What surprised me is that even though this people have never even met, they due this prostrations almost perfectly in sync. This is a clear evidence that communitas is present in the journey to Mecca.
