The Saint Michael and Saint Gudula Cathedral

On my recommended list. My enjoyment of this church was augmented by the small information cards dotted around the area. Of great interest to me was this story of the "Miraculous Sacrament".

Statement on the Miraculous Sacrament (‘ Sacrement du Miracle ’): Hatred for the Jews during the Middle Ages. "In 1370, the Jewish community of Brussels was accused of the profanation of the Holy Sacrament and punished for this act. It was claimed that on Good Friday 1370 Jews used daggers to stab communion wafers which had been stolen from a chapel. Blood was said to have flowed from these wafers." There's more to the story if you are interested http://www.cathedralestmichel.be/eng/cult_archi_miracle.php?lang=eng

There's also this cool pulpit made out of wood. And I really liked some of the paintings on display as well.
