medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Hi, Theresa
An example from Verona's chiesa di S. Maria del Paradiso:
http://tinyurl.com/cw6he
"Entriamo ora in un'edicola, a fine parete, contenente un prezioso
reliquario in legno, del XIV secolo; alcune teche con ceneri di santi
cremati; un riquadro con frammento del piviale di S. Gaetano da Thiene,
e un calendario perpetuo con tutti i santi e le loro ricorrenze
liturgiche."
The name of this place sounds promising:

Though (but who could think such a thing?) it is just possible that
appearances could deceive.
Moving along to relics not thought to be ashes,

On which, see:

(scroll down to "THE BLOOD OF ST LORENZO")
and perhaps also:

(though at this point we're talking about ketchup rather than about
grease)
and perhaps even the photo gallery here:
