Pilgrimages In the medieval age

People went to Becket’s shrine to be healed. As you already know, four of the king’s knights took swords and killed the Archbishop of Canterbury- Thomas Becket (1170). People soon heard what had happened and came and tore bits of his clothing and dipped it in blood and took it away. They thought these were holy RELICS After Becket was killed on the alter of his cathedral, he was almost immediately named a saint. The Church believed his body and blood were sacred and had the power to cure. People went to Becket’s shrine to be healed.

So what about the Pilgrimage ? Canterbury Cathedral became a centre for pilgrimages because of Thomas Becket becoming a martyr. Pilgrims thought they could be healed there.
