bunyan

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This might be a double definition.

'his pilgrim' is the first definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer. I also know that 'pilgrim' relates to this answer.

'christian' is the second definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'was' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
