Christianity is full of pilgrimages beyond Jerusalem: Lourdes, Fatima, Santiago de Compostela, the Lavra caves, St Peter and St Paul, Hagia Sophia, Mar Charbel.

Most crusaders were genuine pilgrims—90% returned—and there was extensive concern for the safety of the routes

First mention of this. It seems odd to adopt the custom and even the term when pilgrimage, however venerable, isn't a "pillar" of Christianity like in Islam
This likely reflects a culture heavily influenced by Islam
