Abstract

A pilgrimage, an act of religious devotion, is a sacred journey. It has been a tradition in religions of both the East and the West and remains a popular element in religious discourse of the present - if not always in performance then at least in symbol. Philosophers, theologians, and poets have used it metaphorically the career of a human life. Some use it today to characterize the nature of religious education.
