The ceremony of moving the reliquary of Sainte-Foy de Conques from the Treasury to the church, delayed by rain yesterday evening, was completed today - though the transfer took place indoors because it was still raining intermittently.
I took many photos of the ceremony inside the church, but this one perhaps best captures the whole scene: the reliquary (amazing), the bishop, the cross, other church dignitaries. There was also some moving choral singing. A very impressive ceremony, even for this disbeliever.
Outside after the ceremony, the slate roofs of the back of the church glistened from the rain.
