The pilgrimages meant different things to different people. Some thought that if they went to a particular shrine they would secure a place in heaven. This was important because the church taught that people were born in sin. Others sought a cure from illness or as a means for personal peace/solace. Thanksgiving and atonement were also reasons or to make a special request of a certain saint. Sometimes the clergy imposed a pilgrimage to punish. Often the church sold indulgences at the sites to collect money to be used to build up the coffers of the church. The "relics" sold would be bits of bone said to be from a saint, sometimes a bit of the "true cross" were sold and other items that were suppose to be from a saints life. Today people still go on pilgrimages for the same reasons and in some of the same places.
