Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Participants in a historic and 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 and other devotional objects are exhibited. This photo was taken in Het Bat during the (second) procession on Sunday 3 June 2018. These participants are part of the delegation from the Basilica of Saint Servatius. They are members of the Vereniging 'Het Graf van Sint Servaas' (Society of the Grave of Saint Servatius), an organization that was founded in 1937 to promote Maastricht als a Catholic centre and a pilgrimage site, and that is responsible for the organization of the Heiligdomsvaart. The emblem on their capes is the coat of arms of the church and chapter of Saint Servatius.
