Pilgrimage Valley is a small Mennonite settlement in Cayo District, Belize, some 5 km east of San Ignacio. It was founded in 1965 by 10 German speaking Mennonite families to escape increasing secularism. Some came from other Mennonite Colonies in Belize, others from North America (Pennsylvania, Ohio, Arkansas and Ontario),〔Harry Leonhard Sawatzky: ''They Sought a Country: Mennonite Colonization in Mexico''. Berkeley 1971, p.363〕 namely the Stoll, Martin, Wanner and Mill families, who were very large, one father e.g. had 22 children. Roessingh writes: ".. the interesting thing about these Mennonites is the fact that they had a ‘different kind of background’. Beside that they were Old Order () and not Old Colony (); there was also the influence of the Amish which makes this group special." Preachers were Victor and Harold Stoll.〔(Peter Hoover: ''Radical Anabaptists Today: Part 3 - Pilgrimage Valley'' )〕 Constant theft of livestock became an existential threat to the settlement and many left, going either back to North America, to Upper Barton Creek or elsewhere. Roessingh writes: "... this settlement never came to the point where it was possible to create a stable existence."〔Carel Roessingh and Kees Boersma: ''‘We are growing Belize’: modernisation and organisational change in the Mennonite settlement of Spanish Lookout, Belize'' in International Journal of Entrepreneurship and Small Business, Vol. 14, No. 2, p. 172-189 2011〕 In 1980 the settlement seemed abandoned, but later it was recovered. In 2000 (Census) it had only 21 inhabitants and in 2011 it had less than 100 inhabitants.〔Carel Roessingh: ''Mennonite communities in Belize''. 2011〕 The inhabitants belong to the same Mennonite group as Upper Barton Creek and Springfield. ==References==
