I personally associate a negative connotation with the pilgrimage when attached to our Church. A pilgrimage to see BY's home or to visit historical places seems to connote a sense of worship for these things.
But I also have a sense of awe, respect and gratitude when I visit Church historical sites. Perhaps that does make these visits pilgrimages even though I don't like to call them such! So, you see, I am completely confused! But I still feel uncomfortable calling them pilgrimages for some mystical unknown reason. You mileage may DEFINITELY vary!
