Fécamp is located in the Seine-Maritime département, Upper Normandy, France (the marker on this map shows the plane's position).

According to legend, in the 1st century the trunk of a fig tree carrying the Blood of Christ (collected by Joseph of Arimathea), was washed ashore on the riverbank at Fécamp.

Immediately, a fountain of Holy Blood gushed from the site.

The relic quickly attracted many pilgrims, enhancing the reputation of the city.

The name “Fécamp” comes from the latin name given to the place by the monks: Fici-campus, the camp of the fig tree.
