Talk:Pilgrimage

Pilgrimage article

Having just finished teaching a couple semesters of a writing course that focused on the subject of pilgrimage, I'd like to rough out a CZ article that pulls together some of the main themes. I'll develop this later this week, but I see it as an article on the practice—both religious and secular—of travel on a personal or spiritual search. I intend to sketch out an overview of religious pilgrimage practice, secular and cultural pilgrimages, and delve into some of the scholarship (religious, psychological) that helps explain an ancient practice that shows no sign of going away in the modern world. I'll also touch on literary manifestations of the practice (Chaucer, Bunyan, etc.), and the metaphor of pilgrimage in the modern world.
