Martyrs and Relics

Holy Family Chapel, Carondelet Sisters of St. Joseph, St. Louis Province, St. Louis, Missouri.

 

The 1889 Romanesque chapel contains a large collection of religious relics including the bodily remains of Christian martyrs. The upper left niche appeared to be the remains of Saint Aurelius; St. Vincent at upper right niche. Below, the body of child martyr St. Aurelia is encased in a waxen figure.
