The Procession of Penitence

2.5 out of 5 starsHelpfulness

Mahieu 561 reviews

The Procession of Penitence (Boeteprocessie) passes every last Sunday of July through the streets of the city centre. The culminating point is the figure of Christ, carrying a cross of 40 kilos. A large group of penitents follows him. Every year more people take part in the procession. All of them still have the original intention of doing penance.
