Belgium
This year the procession takes place on May 1 and it is something that should not be missed as it is a glittering pageant of colour and history that has taken place since 1150.
Reputed to be a piece of cloth that was used to wipe the wounds of Christ by Joseph of Arimathea; the Count of Flanders brought it back home to Bruges.
Even if you are sceptical as to the orign of the relic - this is a great day out in Bruges with even more to enjoy than usual.
Starting off in the Burg, the procession winds itself around the city. Helpful information links may be found here
