Fronleichnam celebrates the bodily presence of Jesus Christ through the sacrament of the Eucharist following the example of the Last Supper. The first official celebration was in 1264 after Pope Urban IV declared it a universal feast for the entire Latin Church. By 1285, celebrations were also recorded in Tyrol. In Tulfes today, Fronleichnam is announced by the ringing of the church bells. It is also visible in the Austrian flag hanging from the church tower and roof trusses. Windowsills along the procession route are decorated with flowers, embroidered cloths and candles. ************************************************************************** Follow Travel Tyrol on: Website: https://traveltyrol.com Facebook:   / traveltyrol   Instagram:   / traveltyrol   Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.at/traveltyrol/... ************************************************************************** Who are we?
