I believe he was trumped by Thérèse of Lisieux, who
actually died 30 September but could not dislodge
Jerome. Fortunately Reims still makes a BIG DEAL of
Remi's feast. Once a year, on his feast, his enormous
châsse, normally hidden behind a grille, is paraded
through the basilica which bears his name. A glorious
fête...
