Pater Damiaan is worth the crosspost on r/belgium! Always proud to see Belgium-related posts on international sub-reddits!

Watch out with the always. Generally it isn’t all that good publicity 😉
It’s the first time I’m seeing a picture of him.
Verkopen ze die stiften nog? Ik herinner me nog dat ik vroeger elk jaar met die stiften moest gaan leuren.
Wow a post that is not about Leopold 2.
Wanna buy some stiftjes?
Went for a walk around Leuven last weekend. Whilst walking trough the centre of Leuven we passed the Sint-Antonius Chapel. Thanks to the Word Cup cycling, which just passed next te chapel, I knew you could visit his Crypt in the chapel. It’s very sober but quite impressive to visit. In the chapel you can see some pictures and read letters from Father Damian.
Certainly worth to visit if you’re in Leuven, and it’s completly free.
Man, I remember the song I had to learn about him in religion class
🎵 Dankuwel dankuwel, Pater Damiaan. Dankuwel dankuwel, voor wat je hebt gedaan 🎵
He is the only not president of the usa that has a buste in the shite house. “Learned in school in 2013 so correct me if necessary”.
Best name for a cat in Belgium: Kater Damiaan.
It surely changes from the usual Reddit’s Belgian bashing for Leopold 2
And to think that some churches don’t allow entrance to the unvaccinated today…. ridiculous!
