The church was a pilgrimage destination of European importance from the late 14th to the mid-16th centuries, after belief in a miracle of the Host spread in 1383. After the Reformation, the first evangelical pastor of Wilsnack, Joachim Ellefeld, destroyed the alleged miracle hosts by burning them in front of witnesses in 1552. This eliminated the reason for the pilgrimages.

The approximately 130 km long Berlin–Wilsnack pilgrimage route was followed from the end of the 14th century to the 16th century and was the most important pilgrimage route in Northern Europe at the time. The starting point was St. Mary's Church or the Holy Spirit Hospital in Berlin-Mitte, the destination was the Miraculous Blood Church of St. Nikolai in Wilsnack

Hiking

In front of the church there is a wind sound sculpture "Steps into silence", it can be rotated. A pilgrimage saying: "The listening expands, outwards and inwards. Sometimes the song of the wind reaches your ear, touches your heart, your soul."
