Pilgrimage by Stephen Parsons

What is the difference between a trek and a pilgrimage? Why do some people walk for weeks, months or even years to visit a holy site? What personal transformations can occur along the way, and at journey’s end? In this pocket book, packed with over 70 maps, Stephen Parsons explores pilgrimage routes, from the Camino de Santiago to the Hajj, from India’s sacred rivers to Japan’s mountain circuits, from Celtic wells to Baltic forests, showing pilgrimage as both inner and outer journey and quest.
Stephen Parsons is a literary editor. This book is his first solo project, drawing on interests in the arts, history, and comparative religion. He grew up near Canterbury and lived for many years in Glastonbury, so has long been fascinated with pilgrim paths and how we traverse landscape. He is currently working on a series of books on dance and somatic movement.
