The relic of saint Ida in the cathedral of Boulogne-sur-Mer
Saturday 17 September and Sunday 18 September 2016
Boulogne-sur-Mer
In 1899 a relic of saint Ida (part of the arm) was sent form Bayeux (where the body of saint Ida is kept since the beginning of the 19the century) to Boulogne-sur-Mer (the place where Ida lived). An altar in her honor was erected in the Cathedral and the relic was placed on the altar. During the Second World War the relic was hidden in a trunc in the sacristy and stayed there ever since. On the occasion of the "Journées du patrimoine" the relic will temporarily be exhibited on the altar. After the restoration of the dome, the relic will be rehabilitated permanently on the altar of saint Ida.
On 18 September at 11.15 AM a solemn mass was held, presided by M. F. Duminy, dean of the Cathedral Church, in honour of saint Ida and of the late M. Horst van Cuyck, inspirator of the project.
