I'm not sure if we're having a procession here. We are having a special Mass outside, followed by Eucharistic Adoration in most churches.

I have yet to march in a Corpus Christi procession, but it's a day I love. And yes, they really do it up in Europe.

Thank you for this beautiful picture!

I have often been to these processions.
They are worth seeing. … or taking part, ifpossible.

I needed yesterday about 2 hours for the following translation from the German of the years ~825-~1225 AD to German 2025 AD.

When I was a child this was a very great celebration with a big procession and many unbelievable beautiful altars made with flower pictures - like such an example:
