PILGRIM, n. A traveler that is taken seriously. A Pilgrim Father was one who, leaving Europe in 1620 because not permitted to sing psalms through his nose, followed it to Massachusetts, where he could personate God according to the dictates of his conscience. Source: Devil's Dictionary.

To dream of pilgrims, denotes that you will go on an extended journey, leaving home and its dearest objects in the mistaken idea that it must be thus for their good.
To dream that you are a pilgrim, portends struggles with poverty and unsympathetic companions.
For a young woman to dream that a pilgrim approaches her, she will fall an easy dupe to deceit. If he leaves her, she will awaken to her weakness of character and strive to strengthen independent thought. Source: Ten Thousand Dreams Interpreted ....

Specialty Definition: Pilgrim

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

A pilgrim is one who undertakes a religious pilgrimage, literally 'far afield'. This is traditionally a visit to a place of some religious significance; often a considerable distance is traveled. Examples include a Muslim visiting Makkah, or a Christian or Jew visiting Jerusalem.

Some of the oldest destinations for pilgrimages are in India.One of the oldest homes of the pilgrimage is India. On the sacred river Ganges lies Benares, the holy city of Brahminism. Buddhism offers four sites of pilgrimage: the Buddha's birthplace at Kapilavastu, the site where he first preached at Gaya, where the highest insight dawned on him at Benares, and where he achieved Nirvana at Kusinagara.

In Israel and Judah the visitation of certain ancient cult-centers was repressed in the 7th century BCE, when the worship was restricted to Jahweh at the temple ijn Jersusalem. In Syria, the shrine of Astarte at the headwater spring of the river Adonis, survived until it was destroyed by order of Emperor Constantine in the 4th century CE.

In mainland Greece, a stream of individuals made their way to Delphi or the oracle of Zeus at Dodona, and once every four years, at the period of the Olympic games, the temple of Zeus at Olympia formed the goal of swarms of pilgrims from every part of the Hellenic world. When Alexander the Great reached Egypt, he put his whole vast enterprise on hold, while he made his way with a small band deep into the Libyan desert, to consult the oracle of Ammun. During the imperium of his Ptolemaic heirs, the shrine of Isis at Philae recived many votive inscriptions from Greeks on behalf of their kindred far away at home.

No religion has laid greater stress on the duty of a pilgrimage than Islam in the Hajj (q.v.).

In the Middle Ages, even as early as the 4th century CE, Christian pilgrimage was regarded as a sacred obligation and a trial of one's faith, since travel was dangerous, expensive and time-consuming. Popular destinations for pilgrimage in England included Bury St. Edmunds and Thomas Beckett's shrine at Canterbury, the destination of Chaucer's 14th century pilgrims in the Canterbury Tales. The shrine of Santiago de Compostela in Spain lay at the end of a long connected string of pilgrims' sites, as did the city of Rome.

Pilgrims contributed an important element to long-distance trade before the modern era, and brought prosperity to successful pilgrimage sites, an economic phenomenon unequalled until the tourist trade of the 20th century. Encouraging pilgrims was a motivation for assembling relics or failing that, for fabricating them, and for writing hagiographies of local saints, filled with inspiring accounts of miracle cures. Lourdes and other modern pilgrimage sites keep this spirit alive.

Over the centuries the terms 'pilgrim' and 'pilgrimage' have come to have a somewhat devalued meaning, and are nowadays often applied in a secular context. For example, fans of Elvis Presley may choose to visit his home, Graceland, in Memphis, Tennessee. Similarly one may refer to a cultural center such as Venice as a 'tourists' mecca (old spelling of Makkah).

The Pilgrims were a group of English 'Separatists', religious dissidents who exiled themselves first in the Netherlands, then sailed for Massachusetts, in the hope of setting up a colony where they could enjoy religious freedom. In this context, the term 'pilgrim' (first used of them in 1799) means only that they travelled a long way in order to practise their religion.

Pilgrims

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

The Pilgrims were a group of English religious separatists who sailed from Europe to North America in the early 1600s, in search of a home where they could freely practice their religion and live according to their own laws. The various members of the group had broken away from the Church of England, feeling that the Church had not completed the task begun by the Reformation. Under the guidance of the Reverends William Brewster and Richard Clifton, a portion of the group left their home in Scrooby, England and sailed to Amsterdam to escape religious persecution at the hands of their countrymen. They settled in Leiden for 12 years, but by 1617 a poor economy and concern over the Dutch influence on their community convinced many of them to move on, this time to the New World.

Fewer than half of the Congregation's members chose to leave the Netherlands, sailing aboard the Speedwell to Southampton, England, where they met up with an even larger group of separatists and boarded the Mayflower to cross the Atlantic. They departed on September 16th, 1620, with 102 people aboard, their destination a section of land in the area called Northern Virginia granted by one of the Brewster family friends in the London Company. This grant would have placed them near the Hudson River.

Forced off course by typical North Atlantic weather, the Mayflower arrived in Cape Cod after 65 days at sea, weighing anchor near present-day Provincetown.
Realizing that it would require a significant additional voyage to reach their goal, the Pilgrims chose to abandon their original plans and form a community where they were. Having no legal authority to colonize the area, they met to sign their own charter, known as the Mayflower Compact, in which they agreed to form a self-governing community.

Although they discovered food and fresh water on Cape Cod, and even made contact with local natives, the Pilgrims eventually settled at Plymouth Colony in Massachusetts on the other side of Cape Cod Bay. The longest surviving members of the original group of settlers were Mary Allerton and John Alden.

Pilgrims are commonly portrayed as wearing black and white clothing. In reality, this was uncommon. Although the Pilgrims did indeed seek to stamp out sin within their society, they were not as extreme as they are frequently portrayed. For instance, they allowed drinking (although not drunkeness), they often wore brightly-colored clothing, and did not discourage sex (within marriage, of course).
