Pilgrimage

To make a pilgrimage means to undertake a journey—typically in the context of religious practice—of personal or ritual significance. The journey can be external and physical, as in the case of the pilgrims journeying to Thomas Becket's tomb in Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales, or internal and spiritual, as in the case of Christian, who narrates his own allegorical vision in The Pilgrim's Progress, by John Bunyan.
