Where were pilgrimages in the middle ages?

There was not a specific place to begin the pilgrimage. It was more about where it would end up. Many in the Middle Ages traveled to Jerusalem.

The goal of a pilgrimage was to reach a holy site.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
