The overlap between pilgrimage sites and heritage sites is great, particularly in the post-modern 21st century tourism milieu, wherein visitors often call their secular travels “pilgrimages” (scholars have discussed “pilgrimages” to Elvis’ Graceland and Michael Jackson’s Neverland, to the Baseball Hall of Fame, to important restaurants, and, most prominently, to imagined “homelands,” ancestral motherlands, or sites of cultural heritage). This interface is most evident—and indeed, enshrined—in UNESCO’s World Heritage List, which, particularly in its first twenty years, ascribed “universal cultural value” primarily to religious places that have historically been pilgrimage sites: cathedrals, temples, shrines, sacred landscapes, and pilgrimage routes.
