Happy Corpus Christi (or Boze Cialo, as its known here in Poland)! At 10:45 on Thursday the main street in Lodz shut completely down and a big procession left from the cathedral and walked around town, stopping to worship at various altars. I was quite impressed by the number of people who turned out to watch but Agata said they were much fewer than normal. The little girls tossing roses were the other favorite part. It was amazing to see the street turn into a church like that, to hear all the noises of a busy urban center stop and everything become solemn and respectful.
