The Wilsnacker pilgrim sign consists of three round plates backed by a triangle, the corners of which also serve as fastening eyelets. There are also two crosses on the top two circles.

The depictions on the individual tiles show Christ on the cross, Christ rising from the coffin with a victory flag and Christ on the torture stake.

A total of 47 Wilsnack pilgrim signs were found, and the pilgrim sign can also be found on over 60 bells, which were intended to avert harm from the church and community and to give grace.

Since 1396, the pilgrim signs have been cast from lead and sold to pilgrims in Wilsnack, available directly in the church.

Hundreds of thousands of pilgrims came to Wilsnack (Brandenburg) via several pilgrimage routes to visit the "Holy Blood". After a church fire in 1383, three intact hosts, each bearing a drop of blood, were found on the site of the altar. Several miracles are said to have occurred in connection with the blood hosts. Wilsnack became one of the most famous pilgrimage sites in Europe. The pilgrim's symbol from Wilsnack consists of three equally large stylized hosts that show the passion and resurrection of Christ: Jesus at the pillar of scourging, Jesus on the cross and the risen Christ with the victory flag from the grave. Originally, small crosses crowned the hosts.

A handmade replica can be purchased for €5 in the small shop at the entrance to the St. Nikolai Church of the Holy Blood in Bad Wilsnack.
