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 particular group (approaching from underneath the trees) is the Sint-Servaasgilde (Guild of Saint Servatius), which is associated with the Basilica of Saint Servatius. They have the task of carrying and escorting the gilded silver reliquary bust of Saint Servatius containing part of the skull of Maastricht's patron saint.
