Vága, 1940s; The Lord's Day is a major Catholic holiday in honor of the Eucharist, in full the Feast of the Body and Blood of the Lord. It is celebrated two weeks after Pentecost Sunday, which concludes the Easter season. It is typically accompanied by a procession. A procession and many flower decorations are also common in Vága. The procession has four stations: four altars decorated with flowers are set up, which the faithful walk around with the priest and the Blessed Sacrament. At the stations, the Gospel is read and the priest gives a blessing to the cardinal points. The first communion girls, dressed in white, sprinkle rose petals in front of the Blessed Sacrament during the procession. Folk tradition attributed the power of carrying the Blessed Sacrament around on the Lord's Day to ward off evil, diseases and natural disasters.
