Turner classifies types of pilgrims that occur in all religions:
Prototypical pilgrims are those who were established by the founder of a religion, his disciples or important national evangelist of faith. These pilgrims typically visit ancient sites and manifest in their parts. Another type of pilgrims established are those who bear traces of syncretism with older religious beliefs and symbols. These people are referred to as archaic pilgrims. Within Christian tradition, two more types of pilgrims are identified. The first, medieval pilgrims, take their tone from theological and philosophical emphases. The final classification is the modern pilgrim. They are highly devotional tone and fervent personal piety of their adherents and the fastest growing group of pilgrims. I find it interesting that he believes all pilgrims can be placed into one of these categories, that they are motivated by 1 of 4 things.
