Pilgrimage badges have enjoyed great popularity since the 12th century. Every place of pilgrimage had its own motif and had the inexpensive badges made of lead, pewter or precious metal produced in large quantities. This was because the pilgrim's badge associated its wearer with the promise of salvation of the place visited.
In addition, the wearer of a pilgrim's badge could also count on support during his pilgrimage and protection against attacks. And last but not least, the pilgrim's badges, which were sold en masse in the Middle Ages, flushed a lot of money into the church's coffers.
Pilgrim's badges were visibly attached to bags, hats or clothing and bore witness to the holy place the wearer had been to. In this way, the pilgrim could identify himself as a devout and godly person and spread the word about the respective place of pilgrimage.
