A pilgrim (from the Latin peregrinus) is a traveler (literally one who has come from afar) who is on a journey to a holy place. Typically, this is a physical journeying (often on foot) to some place of special significance to the adherent of a particular religious belief system. In the spiritual literature of Christianity, the concept of pilgrim and pilgrimage may refer to the experience of life in the world (considered as a period of exile) or to the inner path of the spiritual aspirant from a state of wretchedness to a state of beatitude.
Pilgrims and the making of pilgrimages are common in many religions, including the faiths in ancient Egypt, Persia in the Mithraic period, India, China, and Japan. The Greek and Roman customs of consulting the gods at local oracles, such as those at Dodona or Delphi, both in Greece, are widely known. In Greece, pilgrimages could either be personal or state-sponsored.
In the early period of Hebrew history, pilgrims traveled to Shiloh, Dan, Bethel, and eventually Jerusalem, see also Three Pilgrimage Festivals, a practice followed by other Abrahamic religions. While many religious pilgrims travel toward a specific destination, a physical location is not a necessity. One group of pilgrims in early Celtic Christianity were the Peregrinari Pro Christ, (Pilgrims for Christ), or "white martyrs". They left their homes to wander in the world. This sort of pilgrimage was an ascetic religious practice, as the pilgrim left the security of home and the clan for an unknown destination, in complete trust of Divine Providence. These travels often resulted in the founding of new abbeys and spreading Christianity among the pagan population in Britain as well as in continental Europe.

Genres: Animation, Short,I was walking down
the road of broken dreams
where leaves piled up
to fom a lonely hill
street signs hanging
with names of people
long forgotten by the living
some things were never meant
I was walking down
the road of broken dreams
and came an old man saying
there's a way outta here
"walk after, go after, run after
where the children play"
and then i understood
oh... oh... ohhhh
it's somewhere
Every way is gone
and i'm out here on my own
and life's saying never
to dreams that i never knew
and all that i can see
are birds that are so free
while they fly
And i lay down
while i pray that there could be
another view of seeing things
and remember the old man saying
"walk after, go after, run after
where the children play"
amd i shook my head
oh... oh... ohhhh
