medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Dear Martin,
Many thanks for the information.
The description of the invention of the relics mentions or suggests that
the relics were covered in red ochre. Prof. Stephen Aldhouse-Green of UWCN
mentioned that ochre is a preservative and might account for the incorrupt
state of the relics. Are there any other examples of discoveries /
inventions of incorrupt relics covered in ochre, or associations of ochre
with relics?
