"순례자" (sunnyeoja) refers to a pilgrim, someone who undertakes a journey to a sacred place for spiritual reasons. This practice is common in various religions, including 불교 (Buddhism), 기독교 (Christianity), and 이슬람 (Islam). Pilgrims often seek personal growth, healing, or a deeper connection to their faith through their travels. In many cultures, the act of pilgrimage involves visiting significant sites, such as 성지 (holy sites) or shrines. Pilgrims may participate in rituals, prayers, or meditative practices during their journey. The experience is often seen as a way to reflect on one's life and beliefs while fostering a sense of community with fellow travelers.
