In Turner and Turner about St. Patrick's Purgatory, many different things were discussed. In one particular part of the book the I found to be extremely interesting was the discussion of the Catholic pilgrimage. Over the semester, pilgrimages have been my favorite thing to learn about and study, so I was eager to see another religion's perspective on the ordeal. I have noticed through studying them that many pilgrimages try to imitate the journey or struggle that the figurehead of a particular culture or religion went through. This section of the books also goes into purgatory, a large part of Catholic's faith. Reading more in depth on purgatory makes me realize how terrible of a time it could be, just sitting around and waiting for your judgement, not sure if it will ever come.
