People waiting for Corpus Christi procession, Toledo, Spain. Whoever comes to Toledo to witness the Corpus procession will encounter a city that has been highly decorated for many days before, when they begin the preparations both in the streets where the procession will pass as well as the Cathedral. The streets are covered in ancient awnings that come from the guilds of weavers and silk workers. The Cathedral can also be seen decked with eight enormous Flemish tapestries from the 17th century, which are placed on its walls during these special days. Some streets adjacent to the procession’s path are also adorned, as well as the patios of individual homes, who open their doors to visitors, in many cases just for these dates.
