> Can anyone tell me where the famous reliquary of Ste. Foy would have been
> placed in the church? Conques is always cited as one of the examples of
> the
> five great pilgrimage churches (characterized by five aisles, an
> ambulatory,
> linked peripheral spaces, lack of clerestory, etc.), with the
> understanding
> that the way the architectural space was constructed had to do with the
> demand by pilgrims to see/contact etc., the relics/reliquary. Would the
> famous statue have been on the high altar? In a crypt below? For that
> matter, does any one know whether Conques even had a crypt accessible to
> pilgrms? Also, was the chancel separated? That is, where and how did
> pilgrims access Ste. Foy?
