More Pilgrimage Sites

After I returned from a visit to Seattle, Tacoma, and Portland, OR, recently, I sat down with the map I tore out of the back of the airline magazine, and started to circle all the places that I know of which offer pilgrimage...or their countries if they have lots of pilgrimages, e.g., India and Ireland, to name a few.

In following up with yesterday's National Geographic list, I want to offer another list, which includes some other sites:

• Chimayo, NM;
• Putting together a pilgrimage of Cesar Chavez in CA;
• Putting together a pilgrimage of Selma and Montgomery and MLK, Jr.;
• Putting together a pilgrimage of Hell’s Kitchen and Dorothy Day;
• Montreal and/or Quebec have a “Lourdes”-like cathedral;
• Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico;
• Machu Pichu in Peru;
• There is a pilgrimage trail in Brazil, ending at the top of the hill with the Christ statue in Rio, and Mt. Corcovado;
• Lourdes in France;
• Spain's Santiago de Compostela;
• Black Madonna in Poland;
• Međugorje in Bosnia;
