Summary
| Description |
Detail of a reliquary in the cloisters of the Basilica of Our Lady in Maastricht, Netherlands. The objects from the church's treasury are shown here in preparation of the veneration of the relics in the church on Saturday 2 June. This is part of the Heiligdomsvaart ("relics pilgrimage") celebrations, a religious and historic event that takes place once in seven years and dates back to the Middle Ages. This 19th-century reliquary contains a smaller 14th-century reliquary with the girdle of the Virgin Mary. As with many of the church's treasures, the larger part of this reliquary was melted down during the French occupation (1794-1814) in order to pay for war taxes. |
