Saint Guido was born into a poor peasant family in Anderlecht in about 950 and died there in 1012. He worked as a trader and later made pilgrimages to Rome and Jerusalem, before becoming a sacristan at the chapel of our Lady of Laeken. Canonized in 1112, he is the Patron Saint of traders, peasants, domestic workers, sacristans, pilgrims, bellringers and goods transporters. The religious procession in his honour ceased during the 1960s, but its popularity was revived in the early 1990s.<\/p>\r\n","fav":"0","fav_l":"0","don":"The Procession of Saint Guidon and Our Lady of Grace","d_y":1998,"d_m":9,"d_d":5,"d_s":-1}
