Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Italian Influences We have held high festival to-day. In memory of a deliverance from the plague in 1630, the relics of St. Spiridion have been carried through the streets and around the Esplanade in solemn pro cession, with military music and a guard of honour, banners, lanterns, and gigantic candles, priests wearing gorgeous robes of precious old Venetian satin and brocade, and the Prefect and other authorities walking bareheaded. The saint´s body, which was plainly visible through the glass casket, is in a fair state of preservation after the fifteen centuries that have elapsed since its first burial. It lacks only one arm, which is in Rome - for as St. Spiridion, who was Archbishop of Tremithus in Cyprus, and flourished at the Council of Nice, lived before the separation of the churches, his memory is as much venerated by Latins as by Orientals.
