Brugge, Belgium Part 2

Here's the highlight of our trip to Brugge. It was the precession of the Holy Blood starting with the Old Testament, in the beginning and then ended with how the Holy Blood came to Brugge. Here's a little more about it:

This annual religious event takes place on Ascension Day (the 40th day after Easter). This is the most important event on the Bruges cultural calendar. The parade is made even more important because the Bishop carries a shrine said to hold the Holy Blood brought from the second crusade by the Count of Flanders. Residents dress in elaborate costumes to accompany the shrine through the streets of the town.

Brayden slept through the whole thing. He fell asleep waiting for it to start.
