Stock Photo - 05 June 2022, Bavaria, Bogen: Pilgrims carry a 13-meter-long spruce trunk weighing around 45 kilograms and wrapped in red wax. This is carried from Holzkirchen, 75 kilometers away, the last section standing to the pilgrimage church on the Bogenberg. This candle pilgrimage, which requires a great deal of strength and skill, has its origins in a vow made in 1492, when the inhabitants of Holzkirchen asked the Mother of God for mercy when the area was hit by bark beetles and storms.
