A procession of flagellants carrying a canopy and a statue of the Virgin Mary through a town. An engraving depicting a religious procession in a European city. The scene shows a large group of people in ceremonial robes and hoods, some carrying banners and religious artifacts, marching through the streets. Onlookers and participants kneel or prostrate themselves in prayer, while others engage in flagellation. The procession moves past a large Gothic church, with a crowd gathered in the background, and buildings lining the streets on both sides.
