	Pilgrim - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Encouraging pilgrims was a motivation for assembling (and sometimes fabricating) relics and for writing hagiographies of local saints, filled with inspiring accounts of miracle cures.
		Over the centuries the terms 'pilgrim' and 'pilgrimage' have come to have a somewhat devalued meaning, and are nowadays often applied in a secular context.
		In this context, the term 'pilgrim' (first used of them in 1799) means only that they travelled a long way in order to practise their religion.

	Pilgrims - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Pilgrims were a group of English religious separatists who sailed from Europe to North America in the early 17th century, in search of a home where they could freely practice their Puritan style of religion and live according to their own laws.
		Concerned with the morals of the time in the Netherlands, and with their children's being brought up in a Dutch environment, they decided to move to a place better suited to them, and in 1620 set sail on the ship Mayflower from Plymouth Harbour, bound for the Americas.
		It was not long before the Pilgrims determined that the sandy land of the outer cape was insufficient to support them, so a group of them sailed across Cape Cod Bay and landed at Plymouth on December 21.

	About the Leiden American Pilgrim Museum
		Furnishings from Pilgrim times show aspects of daily life, while the story of the Pilgrims themselves is illustrated with a collection of sixteenth and seventeenth-century maps and engravings by such artists as Gerard Mercator, Adrian van de Venne, and Jacques de Gheyn.
