I know this became one of the most popular pilgrimage sites in England (but I'm not sure of the rating worldwide). After Beckett was killed, several people had obtained parts of his blood soaked clothing, and rumors began to abound that when touched by the cloth they could be healed of a number of problems such as leprosy, epilepsy, blindness and etcetera. Eventually monks at Canterbury began selling bottles of what was supposedly Beckett's blood to visiting pilgrims. Was it Canterbury Cathedral in England?
