Corpus Christi, Appenzell, Canton Appenzell Inner-Rhodes
Corpus Christi is celebrated in Roman Catholic areas on the second Thursday after Whitsunday. It consists of a procession in honour of the holy sacrament. In Appenzell the end of the official procession is taken up by women dressed in traditional feast day costume. This costume is worn only on a few specified religious occasions.
Did I send you this picture? I don't remember pushing all the right
buttons. Anyway - double-stitched holds better:-) It is a snapshot from
the life Iivo was close to some forty years ago. We lived just some
miles away from where this shot was taken. Happy Mother's Day. Opa
