Leper-kissing became fashionable among medieval ascetics and religious nobility during the 1100s and 1200s in Europe. Lepers at the time were the lowest of the low and getting too close to them was risking infection and becoming as low as they were.
So kissing lepers was considered proof of humility. It was proof the person considered themselves to be above no one.
