The movement during the Black Death when people whipped themselves is known as the Flagellant movement. Flagellants believed that by inflicting pain on themselves, they could atone for their sins and seek God's mercy to end the plague.

The movement gained significant attention in the 14th century but eventually faced criticism from the Church.
