medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
I don't know if it's in Bynum's book, but there was a very important cult of the
Precious blood in Bruges (motets were written for it by Jacob Obrecht and Adrian
Willaert in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries); a yearly procession was
(perhaps still is) held on the third of May, in honour of the relic kept at
Bruges since 1150 in the chapel of St Basil, now with a small museum devoted to
it.

Learned ones,
In an article by Eamon Duffy on devotoin to Crucifixes in the Late MA, I ran
across a reference to
a feast of the 'Precious Blood', which appears to be exactly what I have been
looking for for some time.
Can anyone provide additional details about the feast, relics (if any), and
locations where the Precious
Blood would be particularly likely to be venerated?
Thanks in advance,
Meg
