Articles Said to Have Been Close

Saviour Still In Fair State

TATHERE today are the imple-
NV ments of the c~rucitixion?
Many have been lost to the
world forever, but others are
believed to be preserved in Rome and
Athens and elsewhere. Whether these
are all indeed relics of the sacrifice On
Mount Calvary, the claim, based on
what are said to be indications that
they are genuine, is made by a large
part Of the Christian world that their
existence today is a fact.
In the great cathedral Of Turin there
is treasured a relic of Christ in which
the whole world, Christian and unbe-
levers alike, are overwhelmingly,
the winding sheet wherein the Saw
tours body was wrapped after being
taken down from the cross.
For on this funeral cloth the divine
Redeemer has left the outline Of his
body and the imprint Of his suffering,

concerned, with that pictured on the

The relic lies In a beautiful and i'm

by a steep flight of steps. which ordi-
nar1ly is shut of from approach by i'm

is recorded in Holy Scriptures as fol-

the linen cloths, but rolled up in a place
apart.
Afterward Joseph, the rich man, and
Magdelene. the converted sinner, gath
cred the blood stained winding sheet
and took 1t to a place Of safety. Still
later it passed with other relics Of the
passion into the custody Of the patri-
arch Of Jerusalem.
~Jeoffrey, count Of Charny, in Bur
gundy, a crusader, brought the relic to
his castle Lirey, near Troyes. One Lu-
dovic. who reigned in the middle Of
the fifteenth century, seems to have
been the first Duke Of Savoy who
claimed possession Of the holy winding
sheet after him. And it has remained
in the family Of his successors eve
since.
Veil Closely Guarded.
Among Rome's sacred relics relating
to Christ's passion none is higher es-
teemed than the veil of st. Veronica,
which bears the imprint Of the Saviour's
face.
This veil is deposited in the Vatican
baSilica, and very few Christians Of
the present generation have seen it, as
it is publicly exhibited IN extraordi-
nary occasions only.
Even some of the high ecclesiastics
it is said. have begged in vain for n
sight of this relic treasured as one of
the most sacred in the whole world, for
pope's special permission, and that per.
mission is seldom accorded.
