According to local legend, the Ascension Day procession originated as a thanksgiving procession during the plague. However, according to the parish chronicle, the origins of the current form of the procession date back to the 18th century, when Mettendorf still belonged to Prüm Abbey. Until 1757, the citizens made an annual pilgrimage to Prüm. This was followed by the French Revolution, during which no procession took place. The custom was reintroduced around 1850. Today, the pilgrimage on this day leads to the field shrine "Maasch Kapellchen."
