Düdingen (Fribourg Region)
Corpus Christi processions were once celebrated in a majority of Roman Catholic parishes in Switzerland. Many have become the victims of motorization, not to mention the reforms initiated by the Second Vatican Council.
Fribourg (Fribourg Region)
When night falls, St. Nicholas, the patron saint of Fribourg, rides a donkey through the streets of the old city, leading a procession towards the platform erected under the portico of the cathedral.
Romont (Fribourg Region)
The time: the afternoon of Good Friday; the place: the Church of Romont. The ceremony begins with a reading from the Bible of the Passion of Christ. When the funeral procession is mentioned, the congregation begins its long procession through the streets of the upper town.
