Mons - Ducasse de la Trinité

This annual religious event takes place on Trinity Sunday (the first Sunday after Pentecost). Parades and processions celebrate the city's deliverance from the Plague in 1349. An 18th century carriage is drawn by white horses throughout the streets of the town, carrying the relics of Saint Waudru. The saint's skull is carried in a silver reliquary by dozens of girls dressed in Belgian lace.
