I'm mostly free just on the weekends, but looking for religious sites and gatherings. After I went to the Piran's Day procession at his old oratory, I really got hooked on this.
Preferably not quiet ruins or churches by themselves, but shrines that people added to them, something that gives the place character, or some sort of gathering. Hope this makes sense? Sort of like the Hill of Crosses, or that place in Bosnia where people regularly report seeing Mary.
I'm also open to other religions. Planning on going to a clootie well in Scotland sooner or later.

OP sounds like they are not actually catholic.

Nope, I mostly think it's interesting for the culture and history. I want to say I'm spiritual and not religious but that's the corniest teenage girl in India praying to crystals bullshit explanation out there.

el camino santiago is probably the most famous in europe, infact it's the only one i can think of.
you aint doing it in a weekend though, unless you cheat and just take public transport right to the shrine.
but then you wont be a real pilgrim, lad.

Well, an honest explanation, but you know a little insulting too. I don't think you'll bond with the gathering as you think you will being someone of no faith or religious persuasion.

the most famous unless you think of you know, the capital of ROMAN Catholicism...
or lourdes in france, or assisi in italy, or Olavs way in Norway, or Dimitrii in Bucharest ....
literally every christian saint has at least one holy site of pilgrimage. just pick a saint and make your own pilgramage.

This actually really helped. I guess I was looking more for religious festivals (I found a few), but I did look this up and found a beautiful walking pilgrimage I bet I could do in a day.
