“Processions played an important role in the religious cycle, particularly on saints’ festivals and during the Holy Week leading up to Easter. They were also held on special occasions – at funerals, during prayers for rain or a good harvest, or when relics were formally moved (or ‘translated’) from one site to another.”(V&A)
