The ceremony normally took place before the pilgrim departed on pilgrimage. By the late 11th century special ceremonies existed for long distance pilgrims, where the staff and scrip were blessed and presented to the pilgrim from the altar. The pilgrim staff and satchel, known as a scrip were a key component of the pilgrim equipment and had a practical function but also came to have a special symbolic significance as signi peregrinationis / signs of pilgrimage. Lank believes the cockleshell is not a specific emblem for a particular shrine ‘merely a general symbol of pilgrimage’ (Lank 2005, 116). Other pilgrim burials have been recovered in Ireland, Britain and the Continent, identified by the presence of a pilgrim badge or ampullae within the burial but it is the survival of clothing and pilgrim equipment within the Worcester burial that makes it unique. The burial has been interpreted as that of a pilgrim due to its dress and the presence of a perforated cockle shell within the burial. Kermes was an expensive dye and not widely available (Lack 2005, 114). The paint was made by mixing ‘bone-black with a costly dye called kermes, made from the bodies of female oak-gall producing insects’. The staff was made of ash wood and had a double pronged iron spike at one end and a traces of a horn tip at the other. As noted above, beside the body was a wooden staff and a perforated cockle shell. He was buried fully dressed in woollen garments and knee-length walking boots. The physical remains of the skeleton suggest this was a male of stocky build approximately 5 feet 7 inches in height. Unfortunately the head and neck of the skeleton had been removed with the insertion of a later burial but otherwise the rest of the body remained in good condition.
