What did medieval Pilgrams take with them?

Answer 1

Almost nothing. Pilgrims were expected to be poor and to rely on charity as they travelled; in many cases they must have been very hungry most of the time.

A pilgrim usually carried a staff of wood, either a single stout stick or three thinner ones tied together representing the Holy Trinity. This served as a walking-stick, a support when crossing difficult terrain and a weapon in case of attacks by outlaws or dangerous animals.

He would also carry a small leather or cloth bag called a scrip which contained an eating bowl, a spoon, a knife and perhaps a few morsels of bread.

He might have a coarse woollen cloak or a blanket rolled and tied over his shoulder, a cap or wide-brimmed hat and perhaps spare shoes (if he was lucky).

Otherwise he had no belongings and little or no money.
