- pilgrim
In the Christian world pilgrims were commonly-met travellers in medieval times. In modern times it is Roman Catholics, especially, who make pilgrimages to holy places such as Lourdes, though they are not thereafter addressed as pilgrim. The latter happens in the Moslem world, where a person who is known to have undertaken the pilgrimage to Mecca is entitled to be addressed by the Arabic word for pilgrim.
The term is used vocatively by Shakespeare in All’s Well That Ends Well (3:v), when Helena, in the dress of a pilgrim, is greeted with ‘God save you, pilgrim!’ and is subsequently called ‘holy pilgrim’. It occurs again in Romeo and Juliet (l:v), in the love-talk between the two young people. Romeo says: ‘If I profane with my unworthiest hand/This holy shrine, the gentle fine is this:/My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand/To smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss.’ ‘Good pilgrim,’ says Juliet, ‘you do wrong your hand too much.’
