Do pilgrimages only go to the Holy Land?

You can take a pilgrimage to any Catholic site, not just The Holy Land. While the Holy Land is certainly one of the most significant pilgrimage destinations for Christians, there are many other well-known pilgrimage sites to visit, such as Rome, the Camino de Santiago, and Lourdes. There are thousands of destinations you can visit during a pilgrimage; in fact, you can even go on a pilgrimage in your own hometown!
