Pilgrims
Pilgrims are people who travel to foreign lands, risking unknown perils to pay homage to a specific location. The reasons for this journey are usually religious or spiritual in nature, and in most cases there is no business or recreation conducted.The locations for a pilgramage can be almost anything. Sometimes, it is to some small shrine or holy site, but it can also be in the middle of teeming thousands, as the pigrim struggles to lay a hand or get a direct glimpse of what he has traveled so far to witness.
In celebration of Thanksgiving, I would like to post a few images of pilgrims:
And of course, what series of images would be complete. . .
without an American version of a pilgrim:
Happy Thanksgiving!
