Feast of Corpus Christi Procession

The Botanical Garden
of the University of Vienna

The garden covers 20 Acres,
and is immediately adjacent to the parks
of the Belvedere palaces
and the Belvedere Alpine Garden.

Corpus Christi Procession
of the Mary Mother of God parish.

A small gate in the garden wall
allows access from the church grounds
to the garden beyond.

After celebrating mass on the Feast of Corpus Christi,
which this year is celebrated on May 22,
a processon was being held,
leading through the Botanical Gardens,
and back to the church grounds.

"Many English-speaking countries
celebrate the Feast of Corpus Christi *
on the Sunday after Trinity Sunday —
on the Sunday after the traditional
Thursday celebration in other countries."

After the procession returned to the church,
the parish members, and guests like me,
were invited to refreshments
in the church yard.
