It's Wrong!
The pilgrimage in Geoffrey Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales takes place in spring. The General Prologue of the work opens with the famous lines that celebrate the rejuvenation of April, with its showers piercing the drought of March and bringing life to the world, stirring people to go on pilgrimages. This setting of spring symbolizes a time of renewal and reflects the themes of new beginnings and spiritual rebirth that are common in the tales.
