THE BLOOD OF CHRIST.
Many European Cities Claiming to
Possess Ii as a Relic.

Possess IL as a Relic.
Many cities profess to possess as a
relic some Of the blood Of Christ, pre-
served from that which flowed from Him
during the crueifxion. St. Louis brought
particles 70 Paris. which he had received
from the Emperor Of Constsntinople. The
Church Of St. John Lateran, in Rome, the
imperial monastery at Weingarten. a
church in Mantua and tire chapel OF the
Precious Blood. in Bruges. all put for
ward similar claims.
The precious blood at Bruges enjoys
the widest fame. and Is reported 10 have
been collected from the Saviours wounds
by Joseph OF A-imatheat and Nicodemus
when they took down the body from the
cross. II was brought to Bruges by
Thierry Of Alsace in ll47- He had re-
ceiyed it from his brother-In-Iaw. Bald
win. King Of Jerusalem.
Nearly six centuries ago the extraor-
binary devotion paid 10 this relic at
BRACES by the inhabitants and visitors
had induced the ecclesiastical and civil
authorities 10 institute a solemn process
sion in which it should be borne in the
streets.
A Confraternity Of the Precious Blood,
consisting Of thirty members. with a
provost and four chapIains. was estab-
lished to guard it al all times.
The procession takes place annually
and the blood, contained in a crystal
cylinder and enclosed in its shrine. is
carried about with much pomp and cere-
