A large part of a pilgrimage is visiting places of cultural
importance. Places where saints or religious people of the past had visions or
spent most of their time are usually considered places of enlightenment. By visiting
these places, people hope to be affected by the aura or atmosphere of the place
and somehow perceive the same kind of sacred place that the people of the past
had. Their hope is to better themselves spiritually, but it could also be to
take in the history of their faith. Others could be hoping for a miracle if
something similar had happened in that same spot. Most people go to these
places with an open mind if they are there for religious reasons, and without
this there would really be no reason to be there.
