A pilgrimage is meant to deepen faith and bring spiritual freedom. The places to which the pilgrimage is made represent ancient religious events or monuments. Birthplaces or places of death of some saints are among the pilgrimage sites.<\/p>\n
The pilgrimage is also said to serve as a kind of purification of the heart; it is said that after receiving the blessing, life changes forever.<\/p>\n
The 5 most popular pilgrimage sites are as follows:<\/p>\n
Israel is the holy land. The most popular pilgrimage sites in Israel are Bethlehem, Nazareth, Mount Sinai and the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem. For Christians, Israel is the place of Jesus' birth and crucifixion; for Jews, it is the covenant between God and Abraham, the original founder of the Jewish faith. While Muslims revere Israel as the place of the Prophet Mohammed's ascension. Despite seemingly endless political and religious crises, Israel is one of the most visited places of pilgrimage in the world.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Lourdes<\/strong><\/p>\n Lourdes is a popular place of pilgrimage for Catholic Christians due to the legendary apparitions of the Virgin Mary. In 1858, the Blessed Virgin is said to have appeared there to Bernadette Soubirous. The pilgrims of Lourdes hope for miracles and healing.<\/p>\n Santiago de Compostela (Way of St. James)<\/strong><\/p>\n Thousands of believers travel from all over Europe every year to walk, cycle or ride on horseback along the Camino de Santigo de Compostela, the path to the shrine of Saint James. It is said that even those who walk along it only as tourists will have a profound spiritual experience.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Rome<\/strong><\/p>\n Rome is the heart of the Catholic Church. The pilgrims' destination is St. Peter's Basilica and the resting place of early Christian martyrs.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Iona<\/strong><\/p>\n Iona, the small island near Scotland, has a special significance in the history of Christians. An Irish monk named Colum Cille founded a monastic community there, which is considered the first Christian settlement in Scotland. Traditionally, people also make pilgrimages here on foot or on horseback to do penance or receive healing.<\/p>\n <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Millionen von Menschen begeben sich j\u00e4hrlich auf Pilgerfahrt, meist als eine Art Bu\u00dfe oder auf der Suche nach Wundern.
