Fronleichnam

On Fronleichnam, the curch celebrates Corpus Christi with a procession, which typically stops at four beautifully decorated altars. Depending on the region the altars are tables, that are decorated with candles and flowers. The procession includes a priest, who concencrates the altars and communion children with baskets full of flowers and (in my town) there are also the so called "Goldhaubenfrauen".For almost 4 generations my family has the honor of decorating and building an altar every year and I just love this tradition.
