One way people avoided the black death was
that they prayed and confessed their sins to
God
This was because they believed that God sent disease to punish
people for their sins or test their faith. People prayed because
they believed they would not catch the disease
Another way people avoided the Black Death was flagellation.
People would whip themselves in order to punish
themselves for their sins. This meant that God would
not send disease as they had already recognised their
sins.
