A fairy tale city: Bruges (Belgium) - 1 day trip from Paris

Bruges and the Procession of the Holy Blood on May 29, 2025

Every year, on Ascension Day, the Procession of the Holy Blood parades through the historic center of Bruges. The Procession of the Holy Blood was born in 1304 as an expression of gratitude and faith.

The dominant theme is the remembrance of the suffering of Jesus Christ. Biblical stories form the foundation of the procession. Thematically, the Procession of the Holy Blood is divided into four parts. The evocation begins with the Old Testament, from Creation to the prophets. Then comes the New Testament, from the birth in Bethlehem to Pentecost. The third part tells how the relic of the Holy Blood arrived in Bruges. In the final part, members of the Noble Brotherhood of the Holy Blood accompany the shrine that holds the precious relic.

More than 1,700 participants sing, play music, dance, and act. The style of the procession recalls the Burgundian era, when guilds, trades, brotherhoods, and chambers of rhetoric were responsible for interpreting the scenes.

The Procession of the Holy Blood is listed on UNESCO’s Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
