A pilgrimage is a journey which holds moral or spiritual significance. Because this is where Mary lived, and where she spent her final days, many pilgrims gather here to honour her memory. Being the mother of Jesus, the Virgin Mary plays an important role in the Catholic faith, therefore making her house a popular pilgrimage site.
Pilgrims visit Mary's house based on the belief that Mother Mary was taken to this stone house by Saint John, and lived there until her Assumption.
