Stock Photo - dpatop - 22 May 2020, Baden-Wuerttemberg, Weingarten: Dean Ekkehard Schmid (centre), the Holy Blood Rider, holds the Holy Blood relic in his hand while riding a grey horse. Because of the Corona pandemic, only three riders and their altar boys are moving from the basilica to a hall altar outside the city. The procession otherwise takes place every year in honour of the Holy Blood Relic on the day after Ascension Day. In Europe's largest equestrian procession, around 2700 solemnly dressed pilgrims usually march on horseback through the festively decorated streets and across the fields.
