When did the traditional depiction of the Nativity in religious art switch from a grotto or cave to a stable and manger?
This happened in the 1200s. Many people mistakenly believe that a manger is a building. The manger is not a building, the manger is the little bed-like thing that baby Jesus was placed in. It was used to feed hay to animals. Jesus was placed in one of this, in a place where animals were kept.
The depiction of the Magi has also changed over time, both in the race of the individual kings and their mode of transport. In the middle ages, they were also depicted as arriving on horses. Nowadays, they arrive on camels.

How do you behave on a pilgrimage?
It depends on the type of pilgrimage and if religious then which religion. Pilgrimages can occur for all sorts of reasons; sometimes to worship Gods, other times to fulfil duties and some even believe going to a loved one's grave or scattering ashes as a pilgrimage (though I don't know if this is correct). With regard to religious pilgrimages it usually involves prayer, adoration and some sort of set act. For example, in Islam Muslims circumnavigate (walk in circles) round the Kaba (sorry for incorrect names/spellings) in Mecca; their place of holy pilgrimage. In Christianity, Lourdes is an example of a pilgrimage often taken by the frail or sick in which they touch the walls of the grotto and light candles by the place where Mary first appeared in a way of asking to be healed.
What people lived in the Neuschwanstein Castle?
King Ludwig of Bavaria built the castle, but didn't really live in it long before he downed in the lake below the castle. Historians today aren't sure if he committed suicide or it was murder. It is a big empty place today. His summer palace down the road has his things in it, including a man made grotto where he sat in a swan boat in an artificial lake to listened to music by Wagner. There is a dining room the castle that is fully mirrored and the table would be brought up fully laden with food through a trapdoor in the floor.
Was the Oracle of Delphi a statue?
Not originally- she was an actual priestess who had her hermitage at Delphi, to whom the ancient Greeks used to make pilgimages in order to seek advice an guidance. The Delphi oracle was chosen by the ancient Greek religious heirarchy as being as wise woman, who was reputed to have psychic powers of mystical insight, precognition and supernatural rapport with the Gods. Upon assuming the role, she took a lifetime vow of celibacy; nobody ever saw her when they went to consult her, she remained concealed in the darkness of her grotto, hearing and speaking but never appearing to the pilgrims. The position of oracle was taken for life- when an old oracle passed away, another much younger woman was lined up waiting to take her place. She may have had a statue near to her hermitage depicting an image of Wisdom, though it wasn't meant to represent her personally. Since the end of the ancient Greek civilisation, classical and Renaissance sculptors have produced a number of statues down the Centuries depicting an idealised image of the Oracle at Delphi, though since hardly anybody ever knew what any of the Oracles looked like, these can't be taken as true to life!
