![]() | Eucharistic Procession in Amsterdam, 2007 On June 16, 2007 the Procession with the Blessed Sacrament took place in Amsterdam for the fourth time. In 2004 this old tradition of processions was taken up again. The occasion then was the 150th anniversary of the Onze-Lieve-Vrouwekerk (Church of Our Lady) in Amsterdam. Processions have always been held in Amsterdam, since a Eucharistic miracle occurred in 1345. But in 1573, with the 'alteration' of the city government to the protestant faith, processions and other public manifestations of faith were suppressed. The Eucharistic Year called by Pope John Paul II, the celebration of Corpus Christi, a change of the Constitution, and our church's anniversary were the perfect occasion to restart such sound tradition. |
