Tourists go on tour or vacation to see things. Pilgrims go on pilgrimage not necessarily to see something, but to receive something, such as renewed spirit, greater devotion, or a closer relationship with God. pilgrimage as a journey to draw closer to God pilgrims should be reminded that the most important thing they take with them on the pilgrimage is a sincere attitude of seeking God. They must be open to God's presence and activity in their lives, before, during and after the pilgrimage. The result of the pilgrimage will not be the amount of souvenirs brought home or the number of places visited, but the transformation that has taken place inside the person. http://old.usccb.org/laity/youth/tourpil.shtml Pilgrimage vs. Vacation 12.
