A visit to St. John Baptist de La Salle

The current home of de LaSalle



The reliquary up close. I think I've seen a thousand pictures of this from exactly this angle. For some reason I thought it was very large. It's only about 3' long. If you click in it and enlarge the pictures, you can see the various jewels mounted on the reliquary.











Here's a picture of the actual relics. (I asked and was told it was ok to take a picture..in case you're wondering.) In the picture you can see his skull and what someone suggested was a femer. I think it looked more like vertebrae. I'm going to go back for another look when I have more time.











I took many more pictures in the church, and will load them later. James Miller wasn't there, but there were two more Saint's relics. There are also a couple of stained glass windows I'm trying to get a good photo of. I'll try again later this evening when the light might be a little better.

Look again. I have the comments. I'm having a formating problem, but I'll get it figured out tonight.
