information about belgium  TournaiBelgium, Hainaut
A few days ago I participated in the preliminary celebrations to the canonization of Father Demian, the Apostle of the Lepers, in this huge cathedral of Tournai (UNESCO Patrimony of the Humandkind).
He gave his life for the lepers in Molokai Island (Hawaii), until he contracted leprosy and died.
Today he is been canonized in the Vatican.
He is the most remarkable Belgian of all times.

Congratulations!

The lighting on the day does not allow more than four stars but I am delighted by the information. I found the history of this man gripping when I first learned of him almost sixty years ago in school

Horourke: yes, it rained that day. Belgium is not Spain. In Belgium, october is already a cold month and there is not much sun.
But you are right, the best was the preliminary ceremonies devoted to suc an extraordinaru man: Father Demian, inside the Cathedral.
