A pilgrimage was a trip to a shrine for the purpose of worship. There were shrines all over Europe, and there could be pilgrimages to all these shrines. Some were historically very important, and others were not. Among the most important destinations for Christians were Jerusalem, Rome, Santiago de Compostela, and Canterbury.
