 A final distinctive tradition common across Britain and Ireland was the popularity of "peregrinatio pro Christo" ("exile for Christ").The term "peregrinatio" is Latin, and referred to the state of living or sojourning away from one's homeland in Roman law.It was later used by the Church Fathers, in particular Saint Augustine of Hippo, who wrote that Christians should live a life of "peregrinatio" in the present world while awaiting the Kingdom of God.
