ambassadors desiring to carry certain relics
into their country were given by Gregory
the Great a vase containing cloths which had
touched the bodies of saints. They having
expressed dissatisfaction at the gift, Gregory
took one of the cloths, and, piercing it,
showed them, to their astonishment, drops
of blood falling from it. Carried to Paris
