Part Two features Christiana, who along with the four sons and Mercy (her maiden), begin the same journey to the Celestial City that Christian previously took. They stop at the same places as Christian with the addition of the inn of one Gaius, where they reside for a time (and where James marries Gaius' daughter Phoebe). The journey is longer than Christian's to account for four marriages (in addition to James, Matthew marries Mercy, while Samuel and Joseph marry Grace and Martha, daughters of a Mr. Mnason) and childbirths.

Arriving at the gate to the Celestial City (along with several other pilgrims), Christiana is called over first. She gives her blessings (and warnings) to her children and then crosses the river to reunite with Christian. The other pilgrims are also called in time and do likewise. However, the narrator mentions that he did not stay long enough to witness the children and their families cross, they remained and brought great increase to the local church at that place.
