| Heiligenblut am Grossglockner, in Slovene: Sveta Kri and in English: Holy Blood, is a municipality in the district of Spittal an der Drau in Carinthia, Austria. The Gothic pilgrimage church dedicated to Saint Vincent of Saragossa, with its prominent spire, was built between 1460-1491. The church also houses a late-Gothic winged altarpiece from 1520, and a crypt and tomb containing Briccius` mortal remains. Frederick Briccius was a Danish knight who brought here in 914 AD a flask of the Holy Blood from the Hagia Sophia in Constantinople. Austria, Europe |
