What kind of people go on a pilgrimage?

People who go on a pilgrimage are called pilgrims; such journeys are religiously motivated, although the term can also be used metaphorically to describe a trip that someone makes to do something that they consider to be extremely important, even if it is not actually religious in nature. All devout Muslims, for example, are religiously obligated to visit the holy city of Mecca, at least once in their lives, so that is a very frequent form of pilgrimage. A Roman Catholic might wish to visit the Vatican as a religious pilgrimage. It is an act of piety for a Hindu to bathe in the waters of the river Ganges. And so forth.
