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 journey (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 of 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 pilgrims travel toward a specific location, a physical destination is not always a necessity. One group of pilgrims in early Celtic Christianity were the Peregrinari Pro Christ, (Pilgrims for Christ), or "white martyrs", who 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, trusting completely in Divine Providence. These travels often resulted in the founding of new abbeys and the spread of Christianity among the pagan population in Britain and in continental.

Plymouth Argyle Football Club is an English professional football club, based in Plymouth. They have played in League Two, the fourth tier of the English football league system, since the 2011–12 season. They are one of two teams in Devon currently competing in the Football League, the other being Exeter City.
Since becoming professional in 1903, the club has won five Football League titles (one Division Two and two Division Three), five Southern League titles and one Western League title. The 2009–10 season was the club's 42nd in the second tier of English football. The team set the record for most championships won in the third tier, having finished first in the Third Division South twice, the Third Division once and the Second Division once.
The club takes its nickname, "The Pilgrims", from an English religious group that left Plymouth for the New World in 1620. The club crest features the Mayflower, the ship that carried the pilgrims to Massachusetts. The city of Plymouth is the largest in England never to have hosted top-flight football. They are the most southerly and westerly League club in England.
Thanksgiving, or Thanksgiving Day, is an important public holiday, celebrated on the fourth Thursday in November in the United States. It originated as a harvest festival. Thanksgiving has been celebrated nationally on and off since 1789, after a proclamation by George Washington. It has been celebrated as a federal holiday every year since 1863, when, during the American Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed a national day of "Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the Heavens," to be celebrated on the last Thursday in November. Together with Christmas and the New Year, Thanksgiving is a part of the broader holiday season.
The event that Americans commonly call the "First Thanksgiving" was celebrated by the Pilgrims after their first harvest in the New World in 1621. This feast lasted three days, and — as accounted by attendee Edward Winslow — it was attended by 90 Native Americans and 53 Pilgrims. The New England colonists were accustomed to regularly celebrating "thanksgivings"—days of prayer thanking God for blessings such as military victory or the end of a drought.

Plot: As usual, Casper, the Friendly Ghost, is out to make friends but the only creature willing to respond is a fat turkey worrying his wattles off about the upcoming Thanksgiving Day. Casper does all he can do to get his friend to go on a diet and lose weight but the turkey keeps eating and getting fatter. Thanksgiving arrives and here comes Farmer Jones, axe in hand, ready to execute the main course of his holiday dinner. But the farmer sees Casper and flees in panic, so Casper has a new friend...at least until next Thanksgiving.

Genres: Animation, Short,Impacts of the English in the New World ( Pilgrims ) Some 100 people, many of them seeking religious freedom in the New World, set sail from England on the Mayflower in September 1620. That November, the ship landed on the shores of Cape Cod, in present-day Massachusetts. A scouting party was sent out, and in late December the group landed at Plymouth Harbor, where they would form the first permanent settlement of Europeans in New England. These original settlers of Plymouth Colony are known as the Pilgrim Fathers, or simply as the Pilgrims.

First and foremost this video was posted for educational purposes. Hey Bullpups! Coach Zumwalt here with an interesting video that goes into far greater depth than we possibly have time to discuss, on Plymouth and the Mayflower voyage. I know that many of you are not going to want to watch this, but it is optional. I wanted to provide a safe place for you to watch it, and hopefully provide a greater detail of background on this event, as well as provide inspiration for anyone thinking history fair this early. Nathaniel Philbrick and Bernard Bailyn are both in this video, both are historians that I have and will cite in our class. Bailyn especially when we get to the "Ideological Origins of the American Revolution." The title of an amazing work, by an amazing historian. Please if you get a...

This is the story of the brave journey of the pilgrims as they struggled for religious freedom and survival in the New World (as performed by elementary school kids).
Ric Burns' film THE PILGRIMS airs November 24th, and again on Thanksgiving, on PBS' American Experience series. Check your local listings here: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/schedule/ Featuring Roger Rees, in his final onscreen performance, as William Bradford and narration by Oliver Platt, THE PILGRIMS will explore the forces, circumstances, personalities and events that converged to propel their crossing, a story universally familiar yet largely unexplored in its rich and compelling historical actuality, and rarely presented in the broad global context required.

PBS American Experience 2015 The Pilgrims
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
