The story behind it
Instituted in 1926 after independence, the procession was intended to foster unity and healing by taking Catholic worship into the public square. It brings together Cork’s Catholic parishioners from all backgrounds, reflecting the city’s faith traditions. In recent years, Indian, Ukrainian, and other immigrant communities in Cork also join, adding multicultural elements while preserving the core ritual of adoration and prayer.
