Where does the urge to travel come from? What does it mean to be a pilgrim, & what is needed to change an ordinary journey into a pilgrimage? Douglas Vest explores the differences between sightseeing, vacationing, & pilgrimage, inviting us along on pilgrimages he has made to Durham Cathedral & the Island of Iona, to French abbeys & the island of St. Croix, to healing sites such as Holywell & Lourdes, & on a journey to his boyhood home. Vest also helps us plan for pilgrimage-not only in the most practical sense, with checklists & guides, but as preparing ourselves for a change of place, opening ourselves to new people & experiences.
