Cheap Flights to Luxembourg (LUX) from UK Airports

Luxembourg is a place of wonder and fairytales with festivals such as the dancing procession.

Luxembourg is a country that is often described as the most peaceful and serene on the continent. The primary reason for this is simply down to the natural beauty and calm environment that the destination offers its visitors. Even though the picturesque countryside and romantic vistas offered by the city may be the main reason for going there, by travelling at the appropriate time of year they might also be fortunate enough to attend a festival known as the dancing procession of Echternach.

This event actually takes the form of a procession, in which all the steps and movements are meticulously choreographed. The end result is a more or less synchronised form of dance. The purpose of the procession is religious, taking the form of a prayer and its history is intriguing, because it cannot be confirmed with any certainty. The most popular belief is that it is based on a famous legend, which says that it all started with a thief who was on the verge of execution. He asked to play his fiddle one last time and performed so well that everyone was lost in his music and started celebrating. The thief then escaped and was never seen again. Since then, owing to the tortures and restrictions of the medieval period, the dancing procession was transformed into a religious event and has maintained its new identity ever since.
