Middle Ages Travel Stories

Margery Kempe's travels around the mediterranean travels many to holy sites because she feels like she has a connection to the holy sites. I think that because she has this connection between the holy sites thats why she feels the she feels the same pain that christ experienced when he got whipped, crucified and etc. Kempe is a very religious person when she makes these travels and she feels very connected to every where she goes and she literally gets very emotional when she goes to these sites. There are many times in the text that Kempe gets rejected by different types of cultures and she really gets upset because of this and she says that she feels like how christ did when he was rejected by the people or the romans and that is the people who crucified him and she feels the same pain in a way that christ did in a sense of rejection. Kempe gets really emotional because of these holy sites and has accounts of connection with these sites.
