The Mecca pilgrimage is a mandated (for all Muslims able to make the journey) pilgrimage, or hajj, of Islam. It includes many rituals that are related to the prophets Abraham (Ibrahim) and Muhammad, peace be upon them.

The Taize pilgrimage is a non-mandatory ecumenical Christian pilgrimage for peace and justice through prayer and meditation. About 100,000 young (mostly 17 - 30 years of age) people from all over the world, journey to Taize, saône-et-Loire, Burgundy, France. Through prayer, Bible study, sharing, and communal work, they are encouraged to live in the spirit of kindness, simplicity and reconciliation. This pilgrimage has become known as the Pilgrimage of Trust. The Taize Community attempts to empower pilgrims to establish root movements of a Pilgrimage of Trust on Earth, in their own local groups or communities at home.

Are monasteries Protestant or catholic?

There are Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Protestant and Ecumenical (e.g., Taize) monasteries. There are far more Catholic monasteries than Orthodox monasteries, largely because there are more Catholics that Orthodox. There are a few Protestant monasteries, but these are comparatively recent. Much of the Protestant Reformation was directed at abolishing monasteries, and it's only recently that some Protestants have decided that maybe monasteries are not such a bad idea, after all. The number of Ecumenical (Usually combined Catholic + Protestant) monasteries is very small, but many of the few that exist have been enormously influential, again citing the example of Taize.
