pilgrimage trails

Devotional walking paths

Pilgrimage trails are routes traveled by people journeying to sacred sites for religious or spiritual purposes.

Some are ancient paths walked for centuries: the Camino de Santiago, the route to Mecca.

The term now extends to secular journeys with personal significance: literary pilgrimage trails, civil rights pilgrimage trails.

The walk itself often matters as much as the destination.
