Pilgrimages in the 12th and 13th centuries were significant as they provided spiritual fulfillment, a means of penance, and an opportunity for communal identity among Christians. They also stimulated local economies through the influx of pilgrims and the establishment of services along routes. In Chaucer's time, particularly in "The Canterbury Tales," pilgrimages served as a narrative device, allowing diverse characters to share their stories and perspectives, reflecting the social dynamics of the period. This blend of spirituality, commerce, and storytelling illustrated the multifaceted nature of pilgrimage culture in medieval society.
because people thought pilgrimage was a way to say sorry to God if they have commited a sin. And the medicines were not very developed, by going to pilgrimage, they thought they could be cureed/ healed of their illness
Historically, pilgrimages were undertaken by people from various social classes, not just the wealthy. While it is true that wealthier individuals could afford more comfortable journeys, many poorer pilgrims also embarked on these spiritual journeys, often facing significant hardships. Religious devotion and the desire for spiritual fulfillment motivated people across the socio-economic spectrum to participate in pilgrimages. Thus, pilgrimages were accessible to a broader range of society, albeit with varying experiences based on one's financial means.
