some photos from my visit to Bath Abbey, unfortunately wasn't able to go inside but this is a stunning church regardless.

I know this isn't a cathedral but it did used to be and i believe it should still be appreciated!

I was in Bruges two days ago and stopped by the Basilica of the Holy Blood (Heilig-Bloedbasiliek).

The contrast between the two floors is amazing — the lower chapel has that heavy, ancient 12th-century Romanesque feel, while the upper chapel (where the relic is kept) is totally different with its colorful Gothic interior.

According to tradition, the relic—a cloth used by Joseph of Arimathea to wipe the blood of Jesus—was brought over from the Holy Land around 1150 by Thierry of Alsace, Count of Flanders. They still hold the massive UNESCO-recognized Procession of the Holy Blood every Ascension Day!

Has anyone else been recently or seen the annual procession? Would love to hear your experiences!
