Overview
A religious believer in any culture may sometimes look beyond the shrine feel the call of some distant holy place renowned for miracles and the revivification of faith, and resolve to journey there. The goal of the journey, in the sacred site, whatever the culture, the general features of a pilgrim's journey are remarkably similar. A generalized account of one woman's pilgrimage may thus serve to illustrate the process. Typically, it is a journey to a shrine or other location of importance to a person's beliefs and faith, although sometimes it can be a metaphorical journey into someone's own beliefs.
