Each year the town of Mechelen hosts the Hanswijk Processie, a
retelling of the story of the Our Lady of Hanswijk statue, and also a
retelling of the story of Jesus (starting with Abraham, Moses,
etc). John had participated in prior years (see photos), and this
year both John and Lydia were able to take part!

Lydia walked through the whole parade holding the hand of one of her
former teachers - very sweet!
