Basilica of the Holy Blood Bruges

The basilica of the Holy Blood is probably the site which triggers the biggest part of your imagination. The relic brought to Bruges by the count of Flanders; Diederick van den Elzas has a big part of reality. Although people think this could be anybody's blood it is historically correct that the blood of Jesus Christ was indeed at that time in Constantinople. And that the blood was caught by Joseph from Arimathea when Jesus was hanging at the cross. When the blood arrived in Bruges everybody was surely impressed by the relic. The relic is still kept safe in the basilica and is recognized by the Vatican as relic level number one.
