About Basilica of the Holy Blood

The Basilica of the Holy Blood is a Roman Catholic basilica that houses a relic of the Holy Blood allegedly collected by Joseph of Arimathea and brought from the Holy Land by Thierry of Alsace, Count of Flanders. Built between 1134 and 1157 as the chapel of the Count of Flanders, it was promoted to a minor basilica in 1923. www.holyblood.com (Bruges, Belgium)
