    In the year 2014,what is the point in walking to a cross on a mountain..I'm all for tradition but is it just used as something 'to see' at the end of the walk? :confused:

    to many, a pilgrimage is a journey of discovery, both of themselves and of others who share the same journey. The cross is just there to mark the end of the journey and is purely symbolic.. thats my tu-pence hay-penny

    thanks for that, I just wondered, hoping it wasn't some acting out of a fairy story.

    The Cross signifies a place of worship no? The journey is a sign of worship, then you worship further at the cross itself...

    Atheists walk up mountains that don't have crosses.
    Christians walk up the mountains that have crosses.
    That way they can avoid each other.

    Why go and visit the grave of a loved one?
    Why go and visit a museum?
    Why not go to the pub instead?
