Bruges, West Flanders, Belgium: stained glass in the Chapel of the Holy Blood, the upper chapel of the Basilica of the Holy Blood or Heilig Bloed Basiliek (Dutch) or Basilique du Saint-Sang (French). The Basilica, in Burg square, is a Roman Catholic church housing a relic of the Holy Blood allegedly collected by Joseph of Arimathea and brought from the Holy Land in 1150 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. The upper chapel was rebuilt in Gothic style in the 1500s and renovated in Gothic Revival style in the 1800s.
