The Journey

            Pilgrims are always on a constant journey in search of some sort of spiritual enlightenment.  “A pilgrimage’s historical origin, then, determines its design and modulates its later development.”(Turner 19).  I see this in thru-hikers on the Camino de Santiago Trail.  There are countless stories in the bible talking about these long journeys individuals had to take for the divine.  These hikers are doing the same thing by hikers miles and miles in order to reach enlightenment at the end of their journey that will help them connect with their high being in a closer way than before.
