, Spain This article is on religious pilgrims. For other uses, see Pilgrim (disambiguation). A pilgrim is one who undertakes a religious pilgrimage, literally 'far afield'. This is traditionally a visit to a place of some religious significance; often a considerable distance is traveled. Examples include a Muslim visiting Mecca or a Christianity or Jew visiting Jerusalem. No religion has laid greater stress on the duty of a pilgrimage than Islam in the Hajj. In the United States the word "Pilgrims" usually refers to the first European settlers of New England, who celebrated the "First Thanksgiving" with the Native Americans in the United States in 1621.MahrukhPilgrimages are characteristic of many religions, such as those of ancient Egypt, Persia in the Mithraism, India, China, and Japan. The ancient Greece and Ancient Rome custom of consulting the gods at local oracles, such as those at Dodona or Delphi, both in Greece, is widely known. In the early period of History of ancient Israel and Judah, pilgrimages were made to Shiloh and Dan and to Bethel (now Beitin, Jordan). The great Islamic pilgrimage to Mecca (now in Saudi Arabia), is obligatory for every Muslim, and other Islamic devotional pilgrimages, particularly to the tombs of saints, are numerous. Kairouan in Tunisia, Ouezzane in Morocco, Karbala in Iraq, and Mashhad (Meshed) in Iran are sacred Muslim cities. Benares (now Varanasi), India is a renowned place of pilgrimage for Hinduism.

.The Early Christianity made pilgrimages to the scenes of the Passion (Christianity) in Jerusalem. Even after Jerusalem had been occupied by the Saracens, the liberty of pilgrimage, on payment of a tax, was secured by treaty; the necessity of protecting pilgrims, however, gave rise to the medieval military orders, such as the Knights Templar.

The chief places of pilgrimage in the West included, in Italy, Rome, Loreto (near Ancona), and Assisi; in Spain, Santiago de Compostela, Guadalupe, and the monastery of Montserrat near Barcelona; in Northern Europe, the shrine of St. Olav (Olaf) at Nidaros Cathedral in Trondheim, Norway; in France, the churches of Notre-Dame de Fourvière, at Lyon, and Saint-Denis; in Germany, Cologne and Trèves (now Trier); in Switzerland, Einsiedeln Abbey; in England, Walsingham Abbey, in eastern England, and Canterbury; in Scotland, Whithorn, Scone, Dundee, Paisley, and Melrose Abbey; in Ireland, many places connected with the life or death of the early Irish people saints; and in France Basilica of the Sacré Cœur, Le Puy, Paray-le-Monial, Issoudun, Saint-Omer, and Lourdes. Gustavo A. Madero is the site of a celebrated shrine to the Virgin Mary, in central Mexico.

In early Celtic Christianity, pilgrimage was an asceticism religious practice, leaving home and the clan for an unknown destination, in complete trust of Divine Providence. These travells often resulted in the founding of new abbeys and spreading christiantity among the pagan population in Sub-Roman Britain as well as on continental Europe.
