 The gods smile on a modern pilgrim's progress | South Of England | UK Holidays | Travel | Telegraph
When medieval pilgrims set off on their great adventures they needed not only the blessing of their local priest, but also written permission from their bishop.
For a man there were several outward observances, too, by which he might be known as a pilgrim: an untrimmed beard, a long grey gown and a fl or grey hat adorned with red crosses, a scrip or bag with a pottle or bottle, and, of course, a staff.
Pilgrims are scarcely a novel phenomenon in Winchester, the ancient capital of England and starting point for medieval Britain's favourite penitential trek — the pilgrimage to the tomb of St Thomas à Becket in Canterbury Cathedral.

In the early days, the Pilgrims would sell 100 baby chicks and a sack of feed to local farmers who would take the chicks home and raise them in their back yards, keeping some for family needs and bringing back the remainder when they were grown.

 Pilgrims and Puritans: Background
The immigration of the Pilgrims to New England occurred in stages.
In its increasing dissemination of the Bible, the increasing emphasis on it as the basis of spiritual meaning, the subsequently increasing importance of literacy as a mode of religious authority and awareness, a growing individualism was implicit.
But where with the Pilgrims this had translated into something closer to an egalitarian mode, the "Puritans considered religion a very complex, subtle, and highly intellectual affair," and its leaders thus were highly trained scholars, whose education tended to translate into positions that were often authoritarian.

 Books: Pilgrims' progress
Mahoney's journey was prompted in part by awe she had felt on an earlier occasion of witnessing pilgrims crawling and slithering up a hill to a church on the Greek island of Tinos.
Shortly thereafter, she found an old college notebook in which she had written: "I'm too forgetful to pray and I fool with religion as though it's some kind of game to be resumed when I have the urge." She was surprised and disconcerted to realize that, 20 years later, nothing had changed.
While The Singular Pilgrim is ultimately an individual and intimate exploration of the nature of spirituality and faith, The Big Bang, the Buddha, and the Baby Boom is part sociology, part psychology, part philosophy, part glorious romp through the pop-culture history of the defining movements spawned by the baby boomer generation.

 The Pilgrims and Plymouth Colony:1620
Samoset told the Pilgrims of the seizure by Capt. Thomas Hunt of twenty Indians from the tribe which lived there at Patuxet, of seven Indians from the Nauset tribe, whom he had enticed on board his ship under the pretense of trading with them, then carried them off to be sold into slavery.
For three days the Pilgrims and their Indian guests gorged themselves on venison, roast duck, goose and turkey, clams and other shell-fish, succulent eels, corn bread, hasty pudding, leeks and water-cress and other "sallet herbes," with wild plums and dried berries as dessert, all washed down with wine made of the wild grape.
The first Pilgrim Thanksgiving in the fall of 1621 was a bountiful feast, but the inventory taken afterwards in preparation for winter proved the Pilgrims had grossly overestimated their harvest.

The Pilgrims hoped to make their Christian settlement "a city upon a hill," in the famous words of William Bradford, second governor of the Plymouth Colony.

 TCS Daily - Pilgrims' Progress
After a tense initial period of several years, the Pilgrims gradually came to an accommodation with the neighboring and powerful Pokanokets, led by their charismatic Sachem Massasoit, largely through the devices of the famous interpreter Squanto.
Philbrick observes that the Pilgrims eschewed an "arrogant isolationism" and instead took "active part [in] the diplomatic process" by engaging the Pokanokets who ultimately proved "very trust[worth]y, quick of apprehension, ripe witted, [and] just," according to one Pilgrim.
As the Pilgrims grew accustomed to the land, and as their material fortunes waxed, their need for assistance from the local Indians waned.

 The Pilgrims and Puritans
And it was in the midst of this controversy that the term "puritan" began to be regularly used by the first group as a derisive epithet of attack upon the second group.
The 1570's saw the intensification of this conflict with little "progress," at least from the standpoint of the Puritan party.
In fact, with the dismissal of Thomas Cartwright from his teaching position at Cambridge for promulgating the heresy of Presbyterianism, it appeared to some Puritans that the cause was being lost and this perception led to the first major split within the Puritan party.

 The Puritan Tradition and American Memory
But again, that the Pilgrims seem to be offered as representative of our 'Forefathers,' does not necessarily mean that the Puritans are forgotten; paradoxically, in name at least, the opposite may be true.
The Pilgrims, because of their lack of these traits, have had a plasticity of meaning, have provided a useful malleability to the fashioning of 'American' tradition.
That is, as alternate modes of "hope" and "memory," progress and tradition, inform the collective understanding of what the nation has come from and where it is headed, its conception of cultural and social identity is transformed in the process.
