Catholics and Eastern Orthodox Christians adore the Eucharistic Jesus who renews his total self-giving to God for us in the Mass, and gives himself as "bread from heaven" in Holy Communion. As Pope John Paul wrote, "May our adoration never cease."
The final scene in the video is a special Eucharistic blessing called "Benediction" (Latin for "Blessing", but the word is generally limited to this kind of blessing with the Eucharist).
There is a tradition that dates back to the 1300's of having a procession after a special Mass, carrying the Eucharist through the streets of the city. This is mainly done for the Feast of Corpus Christi (which is Latin for "Body of Christ" and refers to the Eucharist).
@stybarrow In the U.S, Corpus Christi is celebrated two weeks after Pentecost; in the universal calendar, it is the Thursday after Trinity Sunday (three weeks after the Ascension).
Jesus is still with us!

isnt that technicaly Exposition of the Blessed Sacrement?

Exposition is "displaying" the Eucharist for adoration. The Blessing, where the Eucharist itself is raised in the sign of the Cross is "Benediction."
