Each year, after the celebration of the Feast of the Holy Rosary (on the first Sunday of October), takes place what is called here "De Scheldezegening".
This religious ceremony, held in front of the river, is preceded by a walking procession that, in Antwerp, starts and ends at St-Paul's church situated a few streets away.
