From anywhere to the shrine or other site sacred to the pilgrims. Examples are the pilgrimage Muslims try to fulfill at least once in their lives, to Mecca; and the Roman Catholics who visit Lourdes to pray at the shrine there. Members of the Baha'i Faith go to the shrines and other holy places at the Baha'i World Center in Haifa, Israel. These are substitutes for the House of the Bab in Shiraz, Iran which has been destroyed by the regime there, and the House of Baha'u'llah in Baghdad which siezed by their enemies decades ago.
At one time to complete a pilgrimage with safe return over large distances was a major and hazardous undertaking: modern transport rather removes the aspect of triumph over adversity. Still pilgrimage to a foreign land is disorienting and has risks.
