THE sAvIouR,s BLOOD.

a Relic of the Crucihxion Preserved
at Bruges.
Many cities profess to possess as q
relic some Of the blood of Christ, pre-
served from that which flowed from
him during the crucifixion. ST. Louis
brought particles to Paris which he
had received from the emperor of Con-
stantinople. The Church of st. John
Lateran, in Rome; the Imperial mon
astery at Weingarten, a church in Man
tua and the Chapel of the Precious
Blood, In Bruges, all put forward SINH
lar claims.
The precious blood at Bruges enjoys
the widest fame and is reported to
have been collected from the Saviour's
wounds by Joseph of Arimathea and
NicOdemus when they took down the
body from the cross. 1t was brought
to Bruges by Thierry of Alsace in 1147.
He had received 1t from his brother-in-
law, Baldwin, king of Jerusalem.
Nearly six centuries ago the extraor-
binary devotion paid to this relic at
Bruges by the inhabitants and visitors
had induced the ecclesiastical and civil
authorities to institute solemn pro-
cession in which it should be borne in
the streets.
A confraternity of the precious blood,
consisting of thirty members, with a
provost and four chaplains, was estab-
lshed to guard it at all times.
The procession takes place annually,

carried about with much pomp and
