Who was the first to make a pilgramage
to the purported holy land for the explicit
purpose of honoring Jesus, and when?

Was it Flavia Iulia Helena,
in the post Nicaean epoch?

I seem to recall "the pilgrim of Bordeaux'' [otherwise anonynous] being in the area early 4th C.
And Origen [I think] mid 3rd C is supposed to have travelled from Caesarea inland looking for places such as Nazareth [didn't find it] and others.
Check them out.

OK, will do, thanks yalla.

BTW, are you located near the Yallah Woolshed?
Best wishes,
