Hjallerup Marked

Hjallerup's annual feast. Hjallerup Market ("marked" in Danish), is an open air market that has its start back in 1700s and used to be mainly a horse and farming equipment market.
As an open air market, in a farming area, I was not surprised to see horses. I was not surprised to see benches with all kinds of stuff, brand new and second hand furniture, clothes etc. I was not surprised to see amusement park, hot dogs, ice cream and lots of beer.

But I was not expecting to see homeless people, something like a union of hippies of 60s and 70s, who were there to be blessed by the priest after a special service dedicated to them.
