Mozes

at the end of group 3, Mozes shows off the 10 commandments and because the poor man has to do this during the whole procession, they are just noted on wooden pannels instead of the heavy stone tables

The adoration of Our Lady in Mechelen goes back over 1000 years.
Whenever there was an outbreak of the black death or threat of war, a statue of the Virgin Maria was carried through the streets.
When this seemed to have a positive effect, the population promissed to have a procession every year. Since 1738, the religious procession of Our Lady (Hanswijkprocessie) is enlarged to form the ‘cavalcade’, a two and a half hour procession which includes over 2000 participants. This cavalcade is only organized once every 25 years
