Title

Reliquary of Saint Louis

Description

This reliquary at the Basilica of Saint Dominic in Bologna, Italy contains the relics of Saint Louis. A man of extreme piety, he was canonized by Pope Boniface VIII in 1297, less than thirty years after his death (in August 1270, of dysentery while crusading in Tunis). Almost immediately following his death, his bones and organs were preserved and processed on a long journey across Sicily, Italy, and France, and relics were dispersed by members of his own family, including his younger brother.
