People go on pilgrimage for as many reasons as there are pilgrims. And you don’t have to be religious to go on pilgrimage!
Often, people go on pilgrimage when they are at a crossroads in their lives, when undergoing a change in their life’s direction or relationships. Others may be in search of a deeper spirituality, healing and forgiveness. Or it may be that pilgrimage marks a special birthday, retirement or other occasion for giving thanks. It’s also a great adventure with the chance to meet new people and see new places.
For Christians, the reasons for going on pilgrimage might be:
• To set aside time for God and feel closer to him
• To discern his will and guidance at times of transition or difficulty
• To be strengthened in faith
• To feel inspired by the communion of saints who have gone before us
