Even though Moslems had ruled Jerusalem since 638, Christians were still allowed to visit the city. By the 11th century, however, the situation had changed. Just as the number and frequency of pilgrimages to Jerusalem was at new peaks, the Seljuk Turks took over control of Jerusalem and prevented pilgrimages.
The Pilgrims.
Pilgrimage is a religious journey undertaken by individuals seeking spiritual growth, enlightenment, or fulfillment of a religious obligation. People from various faiths, including Muslims making the Hajj to Mecca, Christians visiting holy sites like Jerusalem or Santiago de Compostela, and Hindus traveling to the Ganges River, engage in pilgrimages. These journeys often involve rituals, prayer, and reflection, allowing pilgrims to connect more deeply with their faith and community.
Pilgrims are people that take pilgrimages, so therefore there are no types of pilgrims.
