The Eucharist gives us the strength to dedicate ourselves to others (The Pope in Ostia):
During the years of his pontificate, Pope Francis emphasized various aspects of this holiday. Above all, the power that springs from this holiday to dedicate ourselves to others.
"How many mothers, how many fathers, together with the loaves of bread they put on the table of their homes every day, have broken their hearts so that their children can grow, to grow properly!

In 2014, he emphasized that what prevented us from parting was the Eucharist. "Christ present among us, in the signs of the bread and wine, requires the power of love to overcome any division and at the same time become a communion with the poor, support for the weak, fraternal support for those who cannot bear the burden alone, Of daily life or those threatened to lose their faith.”(Body and Blood of Christ).

The bread of unity.
The Eucharist is not an abstract memory, but a living memory of the love of God, a sacrament that fits into the spiritual DNA, the Pope recalled in 2017:
"The Eucharist is the sacrament of unity. He who accepts it can be nothing, but a builder of this unity, because it is born in him, in his "spiritual DNA."
May this Bread of Unity heal us from the ambition to always be above others, from greed to take over, from inciting disagreements and constant criticism.
May the joy of living in us without rivalry, without envy and slander create in us.”(Body and Blood of Christ).

On the day of the Ascension of the Lord, which falls on the 40th day after Easter, a wonderful vessel leaves the borders of its native church to take part in the ritual procession, which the locals christened "The Best Day of Bruges."

The procession of Holy blood reproduces the historical moment of Bruges gaining its main shrine.
According to the chronicles, this happened in the 13th century, when a vial of rock crystal with the blood of Christ was delivered from Jerusalem by participants of the Second Crusade.
The magnificent holiday marking the anniversary of the fateful event is organized by the official guardians of the relic - the Noble Brotherhood of the Holy Blood.
The members of the fraternity in solemn black and red robes, led by their dean, accompany the palanquin with the shrine on a journey through the city.

The parade itself is a detailed version of traditional biblical productions, which are usually played at Christmas; and also played at other important Christian celebrations.
