Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: View of a historic religious procession during the 2018 Heiligdomsvaart ("Relics Pilgrimage") in Maastricht, Netherlands. The history of this seven-yearly catholic pilgrimage goes back to the Middle Ages. The first 'modern' version took place in 1874. On both Sundays of the 10-day festival, a procession is held in which the main relics of the town and other devotional objects are exhibited. This photo was taken from the spectator stand in Vrijthof square during the (second) procession on 3 June 2018. This group, the Broederschap van Sint Servaas, is associated with the Basilica of Saint Servatius. Their main task is to carry and escort the Noodkist, which is the apogee of the procession. The 12th-century reliquary chest of Saint Servatius is a masterpiece of Mosan art. It contains the relics of the city's patron saint. |
