If your talking health benefits, think about it. If your Muslim then its circling a rock seven times with a bunch of old men, if your Jewish or christian then its paying a lot of money to get a plane to go there. Just go to church, it pays off much better.
Great Question !!!
You learn about the Saint you are worshipping, eat different types of food, meet all sorts of interesting people. I'm curious as to why you asked this question. Can you please give us some more details, i.e. to where, why, with whom will you travel?
Hello i agree with this answer, but, i do realise it doesn't actually answer the question 'What are the benefits of going on pilgrimage?' the benefits are quite simple a sense of achievement and completionThe effects of pilgrimage is that it leads to a well established pattern of the religious behavior in the Christian world. The believers also experience the divine presence on the earth.
yes they do
You show what happens at mecca, encourage people to go, show the purpose of going, put people's opinions in, show the benefits of going, and give your personal opinion about it.
There is no record of a parallelogram going on a pilgrimage. Ever!
No, Jews stopped going on pilgrimage with the destruction of the Second Temple.
They are going to Canterbury Cathedral.
Hm, it depends on your other interests apart from religion. A pilgrimage definitely benefits all people. You will come in contact with different types of personalities and places. In a broader sense, a pilgrimage will benefit more a non-religious person as he his horizon is broader in the pilgrimage centre unlike the religious person who has gove there on a mission.
Yes.
A pilgrimage means a trip with a purpose, , so it could be said that if a person who wants to return to the place of their birth are going on a pilgrimage.
