Stock Photo - 05 June 2022, Bavaria, Bogen: Pilgrims carry a 13-meter-long spruce trunk weighing around 45 kilograms wrapped in red wax from Holzkirchen, 75 kilometers away, standing up the last stretch of the way to the pilgrimage church on Bogenberg Mountain. 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.
