Fronleichnamsprozession

Bamberg

Corpus Christi procession, which draws thousands of the faithful every year since 1390 to the streets of Bamberg.

A Corpus Christi procession is a solemn, public procession of the Catholic Church. The faithful move through the streets singing and praying,
while the priest carries the monstrance containing the consecrated Host—the Body of Christ—beneath a fabric canopy (known as the *Himmel*).
It serves as a public profession of faith and an act of veneration.
