themselves. They believed
plague
was a
punishment
from
God
for their
sins.

themselves in the hope that
God
will not bring
the
plague
on them.
let it be known that
holy
processions
are to be held in our
cathedral
and in every
parish
church
, and that a
special
prayer
be
said every day for stopping the
pestilence.
Escaping
the
plague
was the best advice for
prevention.
Guy de
Chauliac, the physician to the
Pope
advised people to ‘Go
quick-
ly, go far and return slowely’ as it was essential to escape the
miasma.
He even surrounded the Pope in a
ring
of
fire
to pre-
vent the spread of miasma.
Many went on
pilgrimages
to
religious
tombs of
saints
to show God they were
worthy
, so to not
be
punished.
People also
fasted
or lit
large
numbers
of
candles
as
an
offering
to
God.
