Scope and content
An image of the Corpus Christi procession at the Capuchin Friary in Rochestown. This annual celebration held at the friary attracted huge crowds from both the city and county in the first two decades of the twentieth century. People travelled by train, by trap or walked to the friary from Cork city. It was the most popular event of the year in Rochestown until 1926 when the first Cork city procession was held.
