Talking of Corpus Christi Day processions .....

It has become an ugly and un-pleasant habit in Germany, to mock this holiday in the most tasteless way.

How is it in your countries?
 

Attend a Corpus Christi procession​

To this day, the Fronleichnamprozession is still seen as a symbolic embodiment of contemporary Bavarian Christianity.

Although some of the most famous Feast of Corpus Christi processions take place in more rural communities outside Germany's major cities, processions can also be seen in cities such as Munich and Frankfurt. The Feast of Corpus Christi processions usually begin early in the morning, so plan your visit accordingly if you don’t want to miss out on witnessing these magnificent processions.

Corpus Christi Processions

The Roman Catholic Church celebrates the Feast of Corpus Christi (Fronleichnam) 10 days after Whitsun, which is marked as a holiday in some German states.

Well said!
 
For once I didn't add a poll! :)
 
maybe a poll concerning those processions would be a good idea, after all ...

Has anybody of you ever been to such a procession?
 
Tomorrow is the day,!
 
Do US Catholics not know those processions?
 
tomorrow there will be a public holiday in many parts of Germany
 
Here in Germany it is now around 23 hours ….on a Wednesday.
So soon it will be thursday and Corpus Christi day.
 
Today is the day now ….. in Germany.
 
This day has come and gone now.
I realize that this day is of no importance in the US.
I think one has been born into some traditionally Catholic small town in the Black forest to have some emotional feelings for this day.

Here in the US it is just not known , but in Germany it is known and often ridiculed because of its strange and very oldfashioned name FRONLEICHNAM.

As i recognize now, this is not a good topic for the US, as the day is hardly known. In Europe it is a public holiday in Austria, in the Catholic parts of Switzerland, and in the Catholic parts of Germany, including my
BadenWürttemberg.
