St.s Magnus and Bonosa: Pics from Before the Procession and Reinterment...

Many people have asked about the reconstruction of the saints relics. I offer a few photos relating to the reconstruction phase of the investigation:

The relics of St. Magnus are removed from the reliquary case in the side altar of the church:






The relics in the back chapel where the investigation was conducted under close security:



Beginning of the initial examination of the relics of St. Magnus:

Do you know if the old robes will be cut up and distributed as relics?

Padre Paulus said...

We have done exactly that. We printed holy cards and affixed small pieces of the third class relics of the old robes to each card. The cards were distributed at the conclusion of the Mass and reinterment...

Would it be possible to receive one of these holy cards?

Padre Paulus said...

Unfortunately we were only able to produce a limited number (2,000), and I believe they have all been taken...

Fr. Beach, Pat, the photographer, took so many pictures of the me and Becky doing the seamstressing before, during and after the project. Do you know anything about these pictures. I would like to see them.
thanks.
