Catholicism in Bavaria II - the Procession

Dear Friends

after the Corpus Christi Mass , cardinal Marx directed the Procession on the roads of Munich during which I interrogated myself about its birth. I realised that, at least in my knowlede, none of the other major world religions has such kind of ceremony (see the images) and maybe it was mutuated by the Roman triumph in which a joyful, victorious army followed his triumphant chief. The procession ended with of a short sermon of cardinal Marx who reminded that we were trampling the Nazis loved Königsplatz, followed by the long-awaited blessing . The invitation of Cardinal Marx to prosecute the feast in the peaceful, relaxing atmosphere of a Biergarten was well received by the faithfuls.

P.S.: I have to thank our Alexei for having recognized the five red crosses madams and sirs  in the images as members of the Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem .
