Pilgrimage (religious)

A religious pilgrimage is a journey undertaken by believers to a sacred site or location that holds spiritual significance within their faith. This acts as an act of devotion, penance, or seeking spiritual growth, often involving rituals, prayers, or reflection. Pilgrimages help strengthen faith, foster community, and deepen personal connection to the divine. Examples include the Hajj to Mecca for Muslims, the Camino de Santiago for Christians, and Kumbh Mela for Hindus. While motivations can vary, the core idea is to travel for a meaningful spiritual experience rooted in religious tradition.
