I felt disappointment when reading the article because it is of physical travels; the important journey of a person's life is not in the mundane.
I also was sickned by the article after it veered from the founders of Thanksgiving. But if you're going to cover non-Christian pilgrims and even a pilgrimage from Japan to Elvis' turf, then why not cover John Wayne's frequent references in movies to pilgrims who moved West to settle as in "Howdy Pilgrim!" 75.139.214.136 ( talk) 18:55, 16 August 2009 (UTC)
I was beginning to think about exapnding this, but most of what can be said is actually already at the article for Pilgrimage, and in fact there is a lot of overlap between the material there and what is already here. The only thing I can think that might be worth putting here specifically is the use of the term 'pilgrim' in Christian language to describe the state of the religious seeker or believer, on a spiritual journey.

I've hacked away at the article a lot tonight, trying to make it better. Any thoughts? I've divide it into an introduction and "Destination pilgrimages", which might be renamed to just "pilgrimages" or "destinations". I've also added a "Notable pilgrims" section, with a list of some people that came up when searching for "s/he went on pilgrimage". I also found a little song on the commons, and included it at the bottom. The article is most in need of references, and I'll try to get some of those up next.-- Patrick Ѻ 22:34, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
I hope someone knows, but can you also be called a pilgrim if you are on a "mental" journey, like Buddhist monks? Thanks. :) -- Jahiri
Absolutely. Life itself is a pilgrimage to awareness of purpose in existence. Also, its the internal yearning cult "leaders" exploit. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.7.198.142 ( talk) 09:50, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
