Heiligdomsvaart or "The Passage of the Relics" was
celebrated for the 53rd time in Maastricht during 2004. For
eleven days the city held this special religious and
historical event.
The Passage of the Relics has its origins going back
centuries in the form of a festival of relics around the
tomb of Saint Servaas, the first bishop of Maastricht, who
died in 384 AD.
The theme for the 53rd celebration was "We Are the Time".
Heiligdomsvaart is celebrated every four years.
