    The pilgrimage basilica of St. George in Walldürn is an important Catholic church and a center of Eucharistic worship in Germany. It was built between 1698 and 1728 in the Baroque style and elevated to a minor basilica by Pope John XXIII in 1962.
    According to legend, a so-called "miracle of the blood" occurred in Walldürn in 1330, resulting in a corporal (linen shroud) bearing the image of the Crucified Christ.
