Summary/Abstract: The Author presents some Biblical texts on symbolic meaning of a way. In theological meaning a way is a symbol of moving forward, developing, growing in the Christian faith, hope, love and wisdom. Progress in the development of sainthood of a person is of a great significance. In this context, the author refers to pilgrimage which is a symbol of the entire Christian life being approaching God. It covers many religious practices, which help to renew the Christian life, develop faith and love.
