The Silent Procession, Amsterdam

Posted 1 year ago by soriane in response to avatar charb's question: When in March is the Silent Procession held in Amsterdam? (give a different answer) .

Amsterdam holds the Silent Procession (Stille Omgang) on the Sunday closest to 15 March. In that day the Catholics walk along the Holy Way to commemorate the 1345 Miracle of Amsterdam (in 1345 the final sacrament was administered a dying man, but he couldn't keep the Host - communion wafer - and he vomited, the miracle was that: when the vomit was thrown on fire, the Host wouldn't burn).
