| Abstract |
Zweitägige Fußwallfahrt am Pfingstsamstag und -sonntag von Holzkirchen bis zum Bogenberg (etwa 70 km). Mitgeführt wird eine 13 m lange "Kerze", ein mit roten Wachssträngen umwickelter Fichtenstamm.
The pilgrimage to the Bogenberg is an impressive survival of the baroque peregrinatio. The film shows the whole procession from Holzkirchen near Vilshofen, along the Danube to the Bogenberg north-east of Straubing (70 km). On this pilgrimage a 13 m long "candle" is carried along with from the town of Bogen to the church of pilgrimage on top of the Bogenberg. This candle is the trunk of a pine-tree covered with stripes of red wax. The film lays a special emphasis on the documentation of the length of this pilgrimage.
