Dancing procession

The dancing procession still appeals to modern man, as it enables him to include his whole body in his prayer. Jumping and dancing are an expression of joy, but they can become real penance through the effort required. It evokes the feeling of advancing towards the eternal goal in the community of the people of God.
Every year on Whit Tuesday some 12-14,000 pilgrims take part in the procession, among them are eight to nine thousand dancers.
