For #TombTuesday, the Ursulakapelle in Michaelskirche, Munich, resting place of several purported pieces of saints. Closeup of the bone of St. Constantia(?) in the central display case.
If saints or medieval history are your thing, consider taking my course, "Relics in Antiquity & the Middle Ages," July 23-August 27, where we talk about the origins of relic veneration and the powers they were believed to possess. Feel free to DM with any questions!
