No, but I remember seeing a feature on a late night TV news
show ("Weekend") 20 years or so ago of people doing something
remarkably like clogging (Southern U.S. group dancing in which
people stamp rhythmically but don't move their bodies.)in
procession in a Belgian town on a saint's feastday, somewhere
in Belgium. I *think* this was St. Walburga's Feast.

P.S. I'd like to add that I really enjoy these postings about
the saints.
