> Amiens cathedral ("AMI") claimed the relic of St. John the Baptist's
head.
The classical Gothic Cathedral of Notre Dame in Amiens, largest in
France, was built to contain the head of St. John the Baptist, stolen
during the commission of one of the greatest crimes in history: the sack
of Constantinople by the Latin West at the time of the Fourth Crusade.
It is but one of the countless examples of treasures looted from the
Orthodox.
