Throughout the history of Christian Europe, roads have been dotted with pilgrims making their way to one of the great holy shrines. These shrines were often housed within grand cathedrals, and contained holy relics such as the bones of saints, which were believed to bestow supernatural benefits.

The journeys usually began with a blessing from the local priest, and then pilgrims would set out with their stout staffs, usually traveling in groups for protection from outlaws and wild animals. Along the way, they stayed in special pilgrim rest houses; and when they arrived at their destinations, a number of inns, taverns and hostels were available for the poor and rich alike.
