	::: St. Willibrord ::: Echternach ::: Springprozession :::
		Thus Willibrord was able to found a monastery in Echternach, where he liked to retire to prepare his missionary expeditions to restless Frisia, and as far as Denmark and Thuringia.
		Very soon after his death he was venerated as a saint, so that more and more pilgrims came to his grave, and about 800 AD the modest Merovingian church had to make room for a larger, three-aisle church, which was over 60 metres long.
		Faithfulness to their patron saint is proved by pilgrimages to Echternach and their participation in the Dancing Procession.
